We at the Perry Local Schools Transportation Department are looking forward to a great year with your students. Bussing information will not be available on Infinite Campus, please monitor your email inbox for transportation schedules at the beginning of August.
Contact us at transport@perry-lake.org or (440) 259-9200, x.9007 with any questions or concerns. For Infinite Campus account assistance, contact Ann Aucelli aucellia@perry-lake.org.
The first day of transportation will begin on August 17, 2026. If your student is an elementary student please check the phase in schedule for their first day of attendance. As a reminder, the beginning of the school year often brings changes due to the addition or removal of students from routes. Please be patient with us as routes may take longer during the first couple weeks. We ask that your student is out at their assigned stop at least 5 minutes prior to the scheduled pick up time. For Kindergarten students, an adult must be present at pickup and drop off. If transportation is needed at a location other than the primary residence please notify us in writing by email of your request at transport@perry-lake.org. If your child does not require transportation, please inform us so we can make the necessary adjustments to the routes. We look forward to safely transporting your student(s) this school year, we encourage you to review the bus rules with them on the right of the linked webpage for a successful year. You may also find more information within our Transportation Handbook.
- Auburn Career Center: Auburn students may be required to attend class at Auburn when Perry Local Schools are closed. Transportation will be provided for these students, however they will be responsible for arriving at the High School bus loop no later than 7:30 AM. The Bus will depart the High School at 7:35 AM. Seniors returning in the afternoon will have the ability to ride an elementary bus home if they do not have transportation of their own.
- Address Change: When a change of address is requested through the board office please allow 3-5 school days for service at the new address to begin.

At Perry Schools, we embrace a culture that is deeply rooted in our mission to inspire all students to achieve personal excellence, pursue world-class standards, and become self-directed, lifelong learners. Our Culture Playbook guides how we think, act, and interact every day. We believe in the Pursuit of Greatness—starting with understanding our “why,” pushing boundaries, and committing to growth for as long as it takes. We strive to be Better Every Day, recognizing that consistent effort and reflection lead to continuous improvement. Through the Power of Relationships, we prioritize respect, open communication, and the belief that every person matters. We are Stronger Together when we collaborate and support one another, and we hold ourselves to a high standard of Personal Responsibility—looking inward, owning our actions, and choosing to be a positive influence. By living out these beliefs and behaviors, we ensure that every student is not only achieving success now, but is also truly Prepared for Life—equipped with the skills, mindset, and character to thrive in any future path they choose. |
