TRANSPORTATION SERVICES
Our Transportation Department provides safe travel to get our students to school and back home each day. Bus routes will be available for your reference.
Please consult our District Health Handbook for information on transportation services for students with special needs. If you have any issues with student transportation, please contact our Transportation Department at (870) 864-5006.
Be sure to check out these Bus Safety Tips if your child rides the bus each day.
BUS PROCEDURES:
Students who are bus riders will need to keep their Smart Tag for the 2024-25 school year. If you can't find it, you'll need to visit the school during open house or before school starts to purchase a new tag. Students entering grades 5, 7, and 9 will receive new Smart Tags, which will be available for pick-up at open house.
If you have questions about your child’s bus route you may call the transportation office to check on the route number.
*Please note that the bus route number will be located on the bus next to the entrance door as a black number on a white background. The route number is not the same as the bus number. *ALL TIMES ARE ESTIMATES DEPENDING ON TRAFFIC, WEATHER, AND VARIOUS CONDITIONS. Please arrive a few minutes early to your stop and wait patiently if the bus is a few minutes behind schedule.
Stay Connected with SMART Tag:
SMART Tag monitors the location of each of ESD's school buses and shows student loading and unloading information in real time for parents. Guardians are encouraged to download the SMART Tag app to their devices to stay connected with bus route information.
