Heads-up for Tucson families who might find this useful: Catalina Foothills School District is adding new bus stops at Reid Park, Fort Lowell Park, and Udall Park for the 2026-27 school year, serving Ventana Vista Elementary and Canyon View Elementary.
The new stops expand open enrollment access for families across town who haven't had a way to get their kids up to the foothills in the morning. Both schools are open enrollment and A-rated.
A couple of program notes for anyone who's been curious about either school:
- Ventana Vista runs a Spanish Immersion program, with instruction in both languages from kindergarten on.
- Canyon View offers robotics, orchestra, art, and Spanish at the elementary level.
