STUDENT TRANSPORTATION REQUEST

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. Please complete the online transportation request form. If you have any questions, please call 269-488-7395.

Special notice to parents or guardians:Pre-k, Young 5’s, Kindergarten require a parent, guardian, or parent designee at the bus stop.

In the event you are required to be at the bus stop for your child or children and you are not present, our policy is for the driver to retain your child or children and bring them into Eaglezone. Parents or guardians will be responsible for all associated charges with Eaglezone.

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. Buses cannot wait for tardy students.

• Some routes with heavy loads may be unable to accommodate additional riders due to bus capacity. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee extra groups will have adequate seating for scout meetings, birthday parties, etc.

• Suppose your child misses the bus. DO NOT let them come up from the backside of the bus. It is very difficult to see anyone in the mirrors. Please call the transportation office to see if your child is able to meet the bus at a different, safe bus stop.

Thank you for supporting your Transportation Team!

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.

• Step back from the curb at least three giant steps when the bus approaches.
