Getting Here from There

The big yellow bus continues on as a symbol heralding the beginning and end of school. This symbolism takes on added meaning with the large geographic area covered by the Schuylerville Central School District.

Schuylerville has more than 25 buses that travel more than a half million miles per year—think of it as going to California and back every day! Approximately 1,700 Schuylerville students, 75 private and parochial school students and 35 special needs students ride our buses to 25 different schools each day.

Safety First

With such a high level of activity, safety is the top priority. Schuylerville’s buses are thoroughly inspected every morning. Our bus drivers go through extensive training before obtaining licensing.

Parents have a role in bus safety, too. [READ MORE]

Bus Routes & Bus Signs

Information on Schuylerville’s bus routes is distributed by the Transportation Department. For safety purposes, we do not post bus routes on the district website.

Please write down your child’s bus number for easy access in case you need to communicate with the Transportation Department. Parents are also encouraged to find out the name of their child’s bus driver.

To easily identify buses, each vehicle will also have a sign on the side with a picture or icon. Here's a list of the buses and their accompanying pictures:

 

Bus #	Picture		Bus #	Picture
128	Cow		141	Horse
130	Star		142	Seal
131	Duck		144	Rooster

Transportation to Non-Public Schools

State law requires parents who are planning to send children to private or parochial schools for the 2013-14 school year to file an application for special transportation by April 1, 2013. These applications are available by calling the Transportation Department at (518) 695-3255, ext. 3260.
