FAMILIES WITH IN ISD #831 BOUNDARIES

 

If your family lives within ISD #831 boundaries, your child(ren) are eligible to ride the bus under our transportation agreement with FLAS.

 

Here’s how it works:

• In the morning, buses bring students to a central hub at Forest Lake Middle School.

• From there, students board shuttle buses specific to North Lakes Academy and head to their schools.

• In the afternoon, this process is reversed with Forest Lake High School serving as the hub.

​

Important:

Any changes to busing must go through the NLA school office managers first.

Please contact the K-6 campus at 651-982-2773 or the 7-12 campus at 651-982-2688 to set up or make changes to busing.

INDEPENDENT TRANSPORTATION

 

Families are always welcome to arrange their own transportation. Students can:

• Walk or bike

• Carpool with others

• Be dropped off or picked up by a guardian

KEEPING OUR YOUNGEST RIDERS SAFE

 

We take extra care to ensure the safety of our elementary students:

• Bus drivers seat younger students toward the front and older students in the back to maintain a secure and age-appropriate environment.

• We work with all involved to address any student behavioral issues promptly.
