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 our families to the north (Franklin/Oak Creek) and to the south (Kenosha).
Travel times from these areas can sometimes make campus drop-off and pick-up inconvenient. Operating the Franklin and Kenosha buses 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.
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 will submit family information to the RUSD each spring and information including pick-up and drop-off times and route numbers will be mailed to our families during the summer. Additional information can be located on the RUSD Transportation website or by contacting Kim Forsman, Prairie Registrar, at 262-752-2551.
Kenosha Area Busing
Route Begins at HWY 31 & HWY 50
Prairie provides private bus service for all our families in the Kenosha area at an annual cost of $500 per student, with a per-family cap of $1,000. Interested families are encouraged to contact Molly Lofquist Johnson at 262.752.2525 to learn the specifics of this route and to secure their seat.
In the past, Prairie families residing in Illinois have driven north to put their children on the Kenosha-area bus, thus greatly reducing their commute and travel time.
