Montour Street between 4^th Avenue and 5^th Avenue will be scheduled for reconstruction this fall. At this time, we do not have an official start date, but it is anticipated to begin sometime in September. Traffic will need to use Chestnut Street, Broadway Street, or Mulberry Street to cross from 4^th Avenue to 5^th Avenue.

DELAYED BUSES (Morning and Afternoon)

On occasion, a bus might be late picking up or dropping off students due to railroad traffic, road construction, weather conditions or a substitute driver.

 

MORNING DELAYS

In the mornings, there is no set time limit that a student should wait for a bus.  However, we suggest students wait at their bus stop a minimum of 10–15 minutes past the scheduled pick up time before returning home.

 

AFTERNOON DELAYS

This occurs primarily with the elementary runs.  If there is a delay with a JSHS run or other route that will cause a ripple effect to the departure time of the elementary buses.

 

Please know that drivers strive to be consistent with pick up and drop off times but sometimes this is not possible.

 

In the event a bus does not arrive as scheduled, please contact Student Transportation of America (STA) at 412-269-9970 to check on the location of your child’s bus.  We ask that you allow 15 minutes before calling.

 

The district works closely with the bus company to ensure they are communicating if a bus is going to be late.  As a courtesy, if the district is notified in advance, an electronic notification (robocall) will be issued if a bus is anticipated to be late by 15 minutes or more.

 

Student Transportation of America (STA) is currently hiring for bus and van drivers, as well as monitors to ride with the students.  If you or anyone you know may be interested in working for STA, please call Lynn Fabian at 412-269-9970.

All rules, regulations, school district policies and procedures within the Student Code of Conduct / Student Handbook apply to all district provided transportation. 

 

 

School transportation is a privilege which may be revoked. Parents are urged to appreciate the disciplinary action taken and to discuss the issue with their child to prevent further occurrence.

If you or anyone you know are interested in becoming a school bus driver, van driver, or bus monitor, please call Student Transportation of America (STA) at 412-269-9970 and ask to speak with Lynn Fabian.

 

STA will provide training. This is a great employment opportunity for parents with school-aged children to have the same work schedule as your child’s school schedule.
