2012-2013 Bus Routes
Uptated August 23

• Bus Route 1-8

Calling All Parents

Do you want your student to ride the school bus next year? Do you want to save time and money and help the environment at the same time?

In order for Schoolcraft Community Schools to provide a safe and orderly bus ride, we require all parents to register their students for bus service. Schoolcraft students will not be scheduled for bus service unless the parents/guardians notify the transportation department in writing. You may > print this form and submit it to the transportation office via fax, mail or your student’s bus driver.

Obtaining an accurate list of students who will actually be riding our buses is very important for us to design efficient, low cost bus routes and to assure the safety of the students. If you would like your students to ride the bus next year, please sign up early. Bus assignments will be based on the student’s home address as listed on the schools records.

Students signing up by June 30 will receive a postcard in late August with specific transportation information.

For more information, please ask your bus driver or call Transportation at 488-7395. Thank you in advance for your timely response. Don’t delay, sign up today. You don’t want to miss the bus!

General Route Notes

• All times are estimated and are subject to change.
• Bus numbers are subject to change.
• Bus drivers are subject to change.
• Route times and buses often change during the school year. 
• Students should be at their assigned stop, ready to board the bus 5 minutes before the scheduled stop time.
• Some routes with heavy loads may not be able to accommodate additional riders due to bus capacity.  Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee extra groups will have adequate seating for scout meetings, birthday parties, etc.

Danger Zones and More... DO YOU KNOW...there are areas to stay clear of when getting on and off the bus? Because school buses are so large, there are blind spots around the bus where it can be hard to see small children as they are preparing to board or after exiting a bus. Parents can help bus drivers keep children safe by discussing the danger zones shown in the photo on the left. Front Danger Zone:  It is never safe to walk close to the front of the bus. Children should walk five giant steps ahead of the bus before crossing in front of it. Side Danger Zone:  Children should always stay three giant steps away from the side of the bus. Rear Danger Zone:  Never walk behind the school bus. Rear Danger Zone:  Walk (don't run) three giant steps away from the bus when exiting the bus. When the bus approaches, step back from the curb at least three giant steps. ( information and artwork from http://www.tcaps.net)
