Transportation & Meals

Bus Transportation

The Academy at Middle Fork works with WS/FCS to arrange bus transportation. Students who live in the Middle Fork residential area (determined by WS/FCS) receive bus transportation to and from home. All other students are provided transportation through community bus stops. This means that you will have to drop your child off and pick your child up at a magnet location for transportation to and from the Academy.

Transportation is also provided to several local after school child care programs and centers. Learn more about bus transportation services and/or contact the Academy at Middle Fork to find out if you are in the Middle Fork residential area and for a listing of after school programs with available transportation.

Free School Meals

All Academy at Middle Fork students receive free breakfast and lunch. Learn more about school meals and view menus.
