Bussing

Leavenworth USD 453 has a contract with Easton Bus Service to provide bussing to students. Parents will be able to enroll their student for a bus route during the enrollment process completed in PowerSchool. Our district follows the State of Kansas transportation funding formula, providing busing for those students who live more than 2.5 miles from the designated attendance center.

Once Easton Bus has determined your child’s transportation you will be contacted through email with their bus information. IMPORTANT! Email will come from info@ezrouting.com 
*If you have a Gmail account please watch for your email in your spam/junk folder. Your child's name will be in the subject line. 

Stay Connected with USD 453!

Leavenworth USD 453 recognizes the value and increasing role of online social media in an education realm. To increase our communication efforts, we have multiple social media accounts.
