Special thanks to those of you who checked in with our transportation department during our centralized registration process for your child’s bus number!
Due to parent privacy concerns, bus schedules are no longer available on the District’s website. If you have questions regarding your child’s bus number, please contact the transportation office at 662.324.4190. Please understand our transportation office is handling a large volume of calls. Be patient and keep trying.
If you are an employee of the SOCSD, and your child needs bus transportation from one school to another, he/she will ride bus 55 (referred to as the employee shuttle).
If your child needs transportation to MSU in the afternoon, he/she will ride bus 58 (referred to as the MSU shuttle).
Due to ongoing construction on the MSU campus, we are offering four stops to campus:
- Sanderson Center
- Hilbun Hall
- Doorman Hall
- Wise Center
Elementary students should arrive on campus between 3:30 and 4 pm. Middle/high school students should arrive on campus between 4:30 and 5 pm.
Parents of students in grades k-4 are asked to meet their children at the bus stop. Children in grades 5-12 may walk to their campus destination at the parent’s discretion.
Please remember that transportation delays are likely during the first few weeks of school as students, parents and drivers become familiar with routes.
We encourage parents to connect with the Office of Transportation to stay informed about bus delays, substitute drivers, and more! Subscribe to Mr. Bus Shop, the Transportation Office’s texting service, to receive text alerts on your phone.
Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.
