Shaker Heights City Schools provides transportation for eligible resident pupils in Grades K-8. There is no school bus transportation for high school students (public transportation passes can be purchased in the High School main office).
Here Comes the Bus
Families of students who are eligible for transportation can use the mobile device app and website titled Here Comes the Bus®, which allows the user to view the location of the bus and receive alerts based on the settings that the user creates for their account. Here Comes the Bus also allows the Transportation Department to send messages when there is a bus change, delay or breakdown.
To obtain your school year bus stop information prior to the start of school, here come the bus to sign up. Signup instructions and information are included below:
Note: School bus number information will only show on the Here Comes the Bus website and not on the app.
Starting in mid-August, families may also obtain their student’s school bus information in PowerSchool using a web browser (not in the PowerSchool app). School bus schedules can be found by logging into your child’s PowerSchool account and clicking on the “Bus Route” link along the left sidebar in PowerSchool's Parent Portal. Available information includes a student's bus number, stop location and stop times. This information is only available when accessing the Parent Portal through a web browser. It is not available on the PowerSchool app.
Getting to School Safely
Students may walk to and from school, be driven, ride a bicycle or, if eligible, ride a school bus. Students must not arrive to school too early because there is no supervision in the schools or on the playgrounds prior to the start of the school day.
Please review the following safety information:
Alternate Stop and Special Requests
The Transportation Department will consider alternate stop locations and special requests. Requests must be submitted annually on a Transportation Change Request Form. Transportation Forms can be found in the PowerSchool Portal. Log in to PowerSchool website using an internet browser (not the app), and select "Forms" in the left-hand menu.
