Time to Spring into Action

It's been a long, cold winter for us, this year and it's hard to believe the end of the 2013-2014 school year is fast approaching.  And - it's time to start thinking about planning your routes for next year!

What types of changes are going to occur in your School District for the next school year?
  • do  you need to eliminate a route(s)?
  • are you closing buildings?
  • will you be opening a building?
  • are you considering re-configuring the grades in different buildings?
Bustops can be used to help plan routes for each of these scenarios.

Once you've booked your GoToMeeting appointment to upgrade your students' grades and then the rollover is done, you will need to:
  • reassign students who switch schools to new stops for their new school
  • import or enter your new kindergartners and assign them to stops
  • optimize or adjust routes depending on your School Districts plans
  • print letters, postcards or post new routes for parents
  • print route sheets, student lists and maps for drivers and schools
Remember, we are here to help you as much as you need to get the information setup in Bustops for next year.  And, the more changes you need to make, the earlier you should get started.

Happy Spring!
