    Dear SLPS staff and families,

    Saint Louis Public Schools is continuing to update families on the progress of our transportation plans as we move toward the August 19 start date for school. 

    Our partners First Student have notified us that they have access to twenty additional “yellow buses” (and drivers) for use in transporting our students this school year.  With this increase, we will transition some students to more traditional yellow buses rather than the alternative form of transportation they have previously been assigned.  

    Our routing specialists are reassigning students, and if families have not already received updated information, they will receive the revised bus letters by Monday, August 12, 2024.

    Should more buses become available, we will continue to make similar adjustments. 

    We will be providing the latest information and answering questions as they come in on our Transportation FAQ page. This is a “living document” and will be updated regularly as more questions come in. 

    If family members have any further questions, we ask that they submit them to www.slps.org/questions.

    We encourage our families to share their questions.  We are making a variety of changes to the system, and these queries may help us identify areas that need extra attention.

    As always, we thank our families for their support as we go through this process. 

    Sincerely,

    Dr. Millicent Borishade
    Acting Superintendent
    Saint Louis Public Schools
