Busing

In addition to offering busing for local Racine families via the Racine Unified School District, Prairie is also happy to offer private busing for residents living in Milwaukee and Kenosha Counties.

Operating these bus routes makes Prairie a possibility for more of our commuter families.

As the buses arrive and depart each day, all students are welcomed by members of the Prairie faculty. Young children are walked to their classrooms by a teacher.

(New as of Fall of 2024) I-94 Busing

Route stops along I-94 exits near Highway 20 and Highway 50.

Prairie provides private bus service for all our families in Pleasant Prairie, Strawberry Creek, and areas west of the interstate at an annual cost of $500 per student, with a per-family cap of $1,000. Interested families are encouraged to contact Kim Forsman, Prairie Registrar, at 262-752-2551 to learn the specifics of this route and to secure their seat.

Racine Area Busing

For students living in the Racine area, busing is provided on behalf of the Racine Unified School District (RUSD) and is included in the cost of tuition.

Prairie submits family information to the RUSD each spring and logistics, including pick-up and drop-off times and route numbers, will be mailed to our families the first week of August. Additional details can be located on the RUSD Transportation website or by contacting Kim Forsman, Middle School Assistant/Registrar, at 262-752-2551.
