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 approximate—particularly 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- Just like 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, which is 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 Redifest and Open House events across the district. Stop by with any questions; we’re happy to help!
