Transportation
Willow Charter Academy now offers bus transportation to eligible students through DS Bus South. To apply for busing, please log in to the Parent Portal and fill out the bus application in the forms section.
Parents are expected to provide the means for their children to get to and from school if busing is not available. If you need any help or have questions, we're here to support you! Use the contact us form below and we'll get back with you shortly.
Busing
Free busing is available to eligible Willow students. Eligibility is based on the state of Louisiana requirement that families live within the Lafayette parish boundaries.
If you are in need of busing you should apply immediately. The bus application is available to submit online via the Forms section of the Parent Portal. You can also print an application and bring it to the front office.
Families interested in receiving bus service text alerts sent to their phone can sign up here.
For any questions about busing, call 337-534-8218 or contact our bus liaison Phyllis Barnett.

What Families Need to Know
