ACTION NEEDED: Complete transportation opt-in survey for 2025-26 school year

Robbinsdale Area Schools (Rdale) is entering the fourth year of its opt-in transportation system. The past three school years have demonstrated the opt-in system works because it helps decrease the number of routes while increasing efficiency in our transportation system.

Beginning April 22, all families with students enrolled in Rdale schools must fill out the bus transportation survey for the 2025-26 school year. The survey must be completed for each student by Friday, May 30.

To fill out the survey, families must log in to their Infinite Campus Parent Portal account. Once logged in, visit the message center, then click surveys. For those who haven’t accessed their Parent Portal account before, Rdale has video tutorials demonstrating how to do so from a phone or from a computer. Families can also contact district support staff with questions about accessing the Parent Portal at registrar@rdale.org.

The opt-in survey is an annual requirement for all students – both those who need bus transportation and those who do not. Students who receive specialized transportation do not need to complete the opt-in survey. Completing a survey for the current or previous school years doesn’t apply to the upcoming school year. Rdale also has a video tutorial to demonstrate how to access the transportation opt-in survey.

Please note: every student who is eligible for and needs busing will have transportation to and from school. Families living in North Minneapolis will only have transportation provided to and from designated schools based on their zip code, which you can learn more about by visiting our website.

If your situation changes, families will be able to make changes to the opt-in form at any time by contacting our Transportation Department at Transportation@rdale.org.
