Transportation

Our Mission

"It is the mission of Allendale Public School's transportation department to promote and develop, safe, efficient school transportation to the highest professional standards."

Transportation Reminders 

School buses are transporting children to and from school daily, please use caution and remember the following:

  • When in school zones, parking lots, and driveways, please drive slowly!
  • Please be watchful of children walking and biking, waiting at bus stops, and using crosswalks. For your children's sake and everyone's sake, please SLOW DOWN and look twice at all intersections.
  • Please don't forget bus safety laws! State law requires you to stop at least twenty feet in front or rear of a bus with RED FLASHING LIGHTS. When you see the yellow lights of a bus coming on, the bus will be stopping within 200 feet. The yellow lights go out and the red lights come on when the bus service doors are open. Once the red lights are turned off, please proceed with caution! For additional school bus stop FAQs, External Linkclick here.

Bus Stop Information

At the start of each year students receive a letter in the mail with bus stop and other information they'll need to know for the first day ride to school.

Please be sure to have your child at the bus stop a minimum of ten (10) minutes prior to the time listed on the bus schedule.

Transportation Information

Allendale Public Schools' Transportation staff are committed to providing their service safely and as conveniently as possible. Transportation policies are included in the parent/student handbook. Please review them with your child. Questions? Please call the Transportation Office at 892-3485.
