Due to a shortage of drivers, we need to cut one bus route beginning in the second semester. This change will take effect on January 6, 2026.
You will receive an email invitation to download our new app, Stopfinder. Once you download the app, please open it and scroll to January 6 to view your child’s updated stop, bus, and pickup time. We encourage you to review the schedule for every day of the week to ensure it is correct. Times will be updated over the next week as drivers drive and learn new routes, and update their times accordingly.
If you do not receive the email or need assistance, please call us at 618-283-8135 or email transportation@vandals203.org.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we work to provide the best possible service to our families.

We are deeply saddened to share that a student in our district has passed away far too soon. This is heartbreaking news for our school community.
The situation involves an active law enforcement investigation. Out of respect for the family and the investigative process, we will not be sharing additional details at this time. We will coordinate closely with law enforcement and provide updates when appropriate.
We recognize that this news is incredibly difficult for students, staff, and families. Our crisis response team and school counselors will be available on Monday and in the days ahead to offer support.
Please join us in keeping the student’s family and loved ones in your thoughts and prayers during this tragic and painful time. We will lean on one another as we care for our students and each other.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Garrison
