Bus Transportation
Marquardt District 15 works in conjunction with school personnel, the bus company First Student, and parents to provide safe and efficient transportation services. Marquardt School District 15 provides free bus transportation for students who live more than 1.5 miles from their school. This service is available at no cost to the students because the District receives partial reimbursement from the State of Illinois. School bus routes and stops are determined by the bus company and school personnel on the basis of safety, efficiency, and student ridership. Neighborhood bus stops are identified within a few blocks of student residences. Bus routes, stops, or times may be altered slightly during the school year as ridership changes.
Students should be at their bus stop at least five minutes before the scheduled pick up time to maintain a safe and timely arrival at school. Further information on transportation may be obtained from the building administrator.
MSD15 is pleased to offer an app through First Student which provides real-time tracking, so you can view your child's transportation system on one screen.
Keeping students safe is our top priority. Our Transportation Center staff facilitate a safe ride while students are on board, but we rely on our community to keep students safe throughout their entire journey to and from school.
