Transportation
The Avery School District bus picks up and drops off in-district students who live up and down the St. Joe River Road from the Benewah/Shoshone County line to Avery.
Out-of-District families who enroll their children in the Avery School District have the ability to meet the school bus at any of its in-district stops along the St. Joe River Road rather than personally transporting their children to and from the school house each day thus saving valuable time and fuel.
