Bus Application SY 25-26

School Bus Service – Quarter 1 Applications open July 14, 2025
The Hawai‘i State Department of Education (HIDOE) provides school bus service to ensure broad access to educational opportunities for students attending select schools.
Who is eligible?
•Students in grades K-5 must reside 1 mile or more from their home school.
•Students in grades 6-12 must reside 1.5 miles or more from their home school.
•Students must be actively enrolled in a HIDOE public school that has bus service available.
Due to the ongoing bus driver labor shortage, available school bus service will continue to be prioritized for elementary students and students receiving special education transportation services as per their Individualized Educational Plan (IEP). For more information and to access the online registration portal, visit https://go.hidoe.us/SchoolBusService. Paper applications are also available at your school. Due to limited seating, we recommended registering as soon as the application period opens.

About Us

Haumāna are instructed with a strong focus on curriculum being created from a Hawaiian perspective and aligned to the kaiapuni standards put forth by the Hawaiʻi Department of Education’s Office of Hawaiian Education (OHE).  OHE has also created standardized assessments for grades 3-8 for language arts, math, and science in the Hawaiian language.  Haumāna are taught entirely in Hawaiian until the seventh grade.  Haumāna receive one hour of English language arts instruction daily starting at the fifth grade.  Eighth through twelfth grade haumāna are instructed in Hawaiian for most of their content area classes.
