Transportation
Busing
Yinghua Academy is pleased to provide busing service for its families residing both inside and outside the Minneapolis School District. We have contracted with the Metropolitan Transportation Network, Inc. to provide school bus services for our students. Please call the school office–not the bus company–with questions or to inform the school of any changes. Bus routes, which are subject to revision each year, will be posted once finalized.
The following linked documents offer bus route and procedure information.

Yinghua School Bus Facts
- At the start of the school year, we assume that all students who signed up for the bus will ride the bus home starting on the first day of school! If your child will not ride the bus home, change your Silent Dismissal settings to let us know.
- How do I know if I’m registered? If you registered to ride the school bus, this option will be listed as one of your dismissal options in Silent Dismissal. For more information please visit our Silent Dismissal page. Contact office@yinghuaacademy.org for assistance with Silent Dismissal.
- Yinghua partners with bus company MTN to offer nine school bus routes.
- Schedules and routes are the same each day.
- Bus riders receive a bus tag on the first day of school. Teachers will help younger students attach the bus tag to the backpack on the first day of school.
- The bus tag goes on the backpack. The tag includes student name, homeroom teacher, bus route, bus stop, a QR code for attendance, and whether you gave permission for the driver to leave your child at the stop if you are not there to meet the bus.
- Kindergartners and sibling groups that include a kindergartner must have a parent at the bus stop in order to be let off the bus at the stop. If a parent is not at the stop, students will remain on the bus and will be brought back to school.
