Bus route information may be viewed via Versatrans e-Link. Please continue to check e-Link in the coming days as pick-up/drop-off times may change slightly as new students are entered into the system.
At e-Link, you can find your student’s bus number, pick-up and drop-off locations and scheduled pick-up and drop-off times. If you have never used e-Link, directions may be found on the school division’s website.
If families did not submit updated information for the 2022-23 school year, transportation arrangements for all students (except rising sixth and ninth graders) were carried over from last school year. If a student’s transportation information needs to be updated, it should be entered into ParentVUE. Because these updates must then be processed and approved at the school, it will take 3-5 days for changes to be made.
Remember: for the first week of school, arrive at the bus stop 10 minutes early as everyone is settling into routines for the new school year.

Before school begins, check to make sure your child’s Chromebook is working:
If your Chromebook is damaged or not working, your child will be able to get Chromebook help when school starts. Students who are new to Chesterfield County Public Schools will receive Chromebooks after school begins.
Here are the prices of school breakfasts and lunches in 2022-23:
Instead of searching every morning for cash to pay for school meals or a la carte items, families can use MySchoolBucks.com to make mornings easier. Go to myschoolbucks.com or download the app to get started.
Another mobile app makes it easy to find out what is being served in Chesterfield County Public Schools. The free app — MealViewer — can be downloaded from Apple’s App Store and Google Play or use this link.
During the pandemic, the federal government issued a waiver allowing all children to eat for free at school. The application for free or reduced-price meals was not required during this time. However, the federal waiver expired; families must now complete an application to receive free or reduced-price meals during the 2022-23 school year. All others will pay for meals as they did before the pandemic. Complete the free or reduced price meal application for the 2022-23 school year here in English or here in Spanish. If you need a paper form, contact [email protected]. Note: Children who attend schools that qualify for the Community Eligibility Provision will receive free meals at school during the 2022-23 school year and do not need to complete a free or reduced price meal application.
Don’t forget to submit records for your student’s required school immunizations.
Particularly, it is important to ensure schools have documentation the meningococcal vaccine required for seventh and twelfth graders. If your student has received this vaccine, but you have not provided records to the school, you may do so on the first day of school.
Virginia students are required by law to get these vaccines before entering seventh grade:
A minimum of two doses of meningococcal conjugate (MenACWY) vaccine are required by law before students enter twelfth grade. The first dose should be administered before entering seventh grade. The final dose should be administered before entering twelfth grade. Meningococcal vaccines help protect against the bacteria that cause meningococcal disease.

Our superintendent, Dr. Merv Daugherty, has been working on a series of videos to talk about issues that are important to families. Topics range from preventing bullying to transportation. Check out the full Minutes with Merv playlist.
One of the most important components of student achievement and success is parent involvement. There are many ways to get parents involved in their child’s education at school and at home. The Virginia Department of Education website offers resources to support families including information on school enrollment, graduation requirements, school quality profiles, student records and more.
