IMPORTANT - TEMPORARY BUS PASSES

Dear Parents,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to inform you about a situation that has come to our attention regarding the D1 and D2 afternoon bus driver. Unfortunately, the driver has not been honoring the student roster, resulting in some registered children being unable to board the bus. Please know that we take this matter very seriously and are committed to resolving it swiftly.

To address the situation and to prevent overcrowding, starting tomorrow, Friday, August 30th, all children, on all routes, will be issued temporary bus passes. Will will begin distribution in the afternoon. These passes will help us monitor and ensure that the transportation process is conducted smoothly and in line with our established guidelines. Make sure your child presents the pass when boarding the bus. (The ZPasses have not arrived - so we will continue to use these temporary passes until the ZPasses are issued.)

Additionally, we will have a member of the SRBC board at the school to oversee the situation and ensure that all bus drivers are following the correct procedures.

We understand that this may cause some concern, and we want to assure you that your child's safety is our top priority. We are working diligently to rectify the situation and prevent any future occurrences. Your understanding and cooperation during this time are greatly appreciated.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Thank you for your continued trust and support.

SRBC Meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, August 28, 2024 at 6:00PM 

All Marshall Middle School parents are invited to join us.

 Dear Families,

 

We hope this message finds you well. We understand that the first week of school was challenging, with significant delays in afternoon bus transportation. We also recognize that this caused concern for many of you, and for all of us as well.

 

These delays have been due to a combination of factors, including routing adjustments, the integration of new drivers, and other logistical challenges. The SRBC is actively working with the Transportation Department to address these issues, but given the complexity of the situation and the department's limited resources, progress has been slower than anticipated.

 

Additionally, some families have received outdated and incorrect information from an old automated system. While this has understandably caused confusion, we ask that you please rely on the information provided directly by us, the SRBC, for the most accurate and up-to-date details.

 

As a volunteer committee dedicated to supporting our community, we are committed to assisting in resolving these issues. We understand the frustration these situations have caused and appreciate your continued patience as we work through these challenges. While we expect improvements in the coming weeks, we ask for your understanding as it may take some time.

 

Thank you for your support during this time. We will keep you updated as we have more information.

 

Warm regards,

Scripps Ranch Bus Committee

 IMPORTANT INFORMATION 

Please have your child arrive at the bus stop at least 10-15 minutes before bus departure. This ensures that buses are not delayed. Schedule is listed below. 

Please ensure that your child only rides the above stated bus route. We have had problems with children riding the wrong buses causing overcrowding. This may result in a registered rider not being able to board the bus.  

If your child is assigned to Dingeman 1 or Dingeman 2, you may NOT switch between the two routes. Your child must board and deboard at your child’s assigned designated time.  

 
NOTE: It is your responsibility to ensure that your child knows which assigned bus and to only ride that bus. To ensure the continued safety of all riders, bus privileges will be revoked if your child abuses the system after 2 warnings have been given (i.e. The 3 strikes rule). 

If you have made other transportation arrangements and will not need bus services, please notify us immediately so that others who are on the waitlist may have a chance to participate. Simply reply to this message or email us at: mmsbus@scrippsranch.org.
  

Dear Parents,

Unfortunately, once again, the District has not updated the Scripps Ranch MMS Bus Manifest. As a result, you may have received an email from the District containing incorrect information. Please disregard that email.

Follow the guidance that was emailed to you on July 31, 2024, by us, the MMS Bus Committee.

If you did not receive an email from the MMS Bus Committee, it is because your child was not assigned a seat for the 2024-25 school year. You can confirm this by checking the roster listed below on this webpage.

We are in communication with the district to ensure that the manifest is updated.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
