Transportation

Pottsgrove School District owns a fleet of over 50 buses and vans. CMD Services, Inc. maintains the fleet and manages day-to-day transportation operations.

For excessive bus delays, requests for bus stop relocation, or bus driver complaints, please contact our Director of Facilities, Mr. Casey Blankenbiller.

Bus Information

Please have your child at their bus stop 5 minutes prior to the designated pickup time.

School bus assignments will be mailed to student homes just prior to the start of the new school year. Newly registered students, after the start of school, should contact your child's building for information.

Bus Stop Information

*Emergency changes must be communicated to the school secretary by 12 noon on the day of transportation.

*Students in grades K-1 must have a parent, guardian, or older sibling present and visible at the designated bus stop in order for the student to be released from the bus. If there is no parent, guardian, or older sibling visible at the designated bus stop, the bus driver will complete its run and return to the bus stop. If the parent, guardian, or older sibling is still not present, the bus will return the student to the school for pick up.

Multi-Bus Assignment

A student whose parents are divorced/separated with joint custody will be assigned to bus stops near each parent’s home, assuming both parents live in the Pottsgrove School District. All other students will be assigned one (1) bus stop within the school's footprint. In the event your child needs alternate transportation or you wish to pick up your child, please make arrangements with the school office. These arrangements must be received before 12 noon.
