Transportation Day to Help Families Prepare for the First Day of School (opens in new window/tab)

Horry County Schools will host Transportation Day on Thursday, July 30, to help families confirm or update student bus transportation information before the start of the 2026-27 school year. Families who have experienced transportation changes since completing online registration or who need to confirm their student’s bus route, bus stop, pickup time, or drop-off time are encouraged to visit the bus office that serves their child’s school. Bus offices will be open from 7:00 to 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. to assist families.
