Bus Routes

Bus routes are created to enhance student safety while maximizing vehicle efficiency. Fewer bus stops helps with bus maintenance, fuel cost, etc.  Bus routes are designed to keep the ride time to a minimum for as many students as possible.  TCS attempts to establish bus stops at central locations to gather as many students as possible to that location.  School bus stops are situated so as to allow students to wait off the main roadway for the bus if at all possible.  Stop locations are determined by analyzing the following: 

  • population density within a given neighborhood
  • traffic
  • bus stopping safety considerations

Stops are spread as far apart as policy will allow in order to decrease the number of stops each bus will make on its route, thus minimizing riding time for the students.  TCS endeavors to make bus stops that are at least 0.2 miles (Elementary), 0.3 (Middle School), 0.4 (High School) apart unless there is a danger such as a blind hill, blind curve or main thoroughfare.

Please note: bus stops and times are subject to change, especially at the beginning of a school year.  You do not have to call to register or sign your child up to ride a bus.  All students of TCS will be assigned a bus for their route. Each stop has a posted pickup time assigned; please have your student at that stop 10 minutes before the assigned pickup time.

For the safety of our students, families, and bus personnel, our bus routes will no longer be publicly posted.  Bus routes are made available via the PowerSchool Parent-Student Portal.  You will need login credentials to access the bus routes within PowerSchool.  If you have forgotten your login credentials, have never received them, or for students in grade K-2, please contact your child's school.  

We ask that you support our safety efforts by not publishing any bus routes on a public site (social media, web pages, etc.).
