Important Information for Families
Staffing & Route Updates
We are currently welcoming several new drivers, and some are still in training. As a result, routes and times may change slightly before school begins. We appreciate your patience and flexibility during this period.
Preschool & Head Start Bus Monitors
We are in the process of hiring several new bus monitors and hope to have monitor assignments finalized by the end of next week. These monitors play a vital role in keeping students safe and supported while on the bus.
Estimated Pick-Up & Drop-Off Times
Please note that all pick-up and drop-off times are approximateโparticularly during the first few weeks of school, when changes in enrollment are most common. Please make sure mailbox numbers are visible, this makes it much easier for drivers to locate a student stop.
Student-Specific Notifications
Next week, families will receive an individual email confirming the transportation information we have on file for each student. Please review this carefully and let us know if anything needs to be updated.
What to Expect on the First Day of School
Color-Coded Bus Tags: Similar to last year, students will receive color-coded bus tags on the first day of school to help staff and students identify the correct bus quickly and safely.
Understanding Route Numbers: Every student is assigned a route number; route numbers are displayed on a small white magnet with a red number located on the front bumper of each school bus. We do not go by the bus number itself. In the event of a breakdown or bus switch, the route number is the consistent identifier. Please help your student learn to look for the red number on the white magnet on the front bumper each day.
Route Changes & District Growth: As Spencer County continues to grow, some routes have been adjusted to better serve our students and neighborhoods. We thank you for your understanding as we continue improving transportation services districtwide.
Meet the Transportation Team: Members of our Transportation Team will be available at Readifest and Open House events across the district. Stop by with any questions; weโre happy to help!
