Important Back-to-School Reminders
- Please check PowerSchool the night before the first day of school for the latest route updates.
- Be patient the first couple of weeks of school as drivers acclimate to their routes.
- Have your students at their stop 10 minutes early.
- Please refrain from reporting a late bus until 10 to 15 minutes after normal pick-up time.
- Bus stop locations and routes change from year to year.
- According to the Illinois School Code, bus stops may be up to 1.5 miles from a student’s residence. While the District does not require students to walk this far to a bus stop, students may need to travel one or more blocks to the closest centralized bus stop. Bus stops will be more frequent and located closer to students’ homes at the elementary level. Middle and high school students may be expected to walk further to the closest bus stop.
