We're looking for a few bus drivers and aides to join our team. No experience necessary, we will even provide paid training to teach you how to drive a bus! I know it sounds challenging, I was intimidated at first, but now I prefer driving my bus rather than my car.

This week is National School Bus Safety Week. Please remember to STOP at least 20 feet away when a school bus has its red lights flashing and stop-arm extended, unless separated by a physical median

This Friday will be the Homecoming Parade, we've been told it'll be the first one held in a few (at least 10) years, and we are honored to be part of it. Please come line Clarkston and Flemings Lake Roads between the administrative offices and the high school parade begins at 5pm

Tomorrow is the first day of the new school year. As a result you will see more school buses on the road, increased traffic around schools, and children waiting at bus stops. You may also see parents crying tears of joy at the sight of their children returning to school.

For the most accurate and up-to-date bus information, including route numbers and estimated times, families should use the BusRight app. Invitations were sent to parents via email. If you have any questions, visit the Transportation website or call the office at 248.623.8040

We also get a few of the same questions asked over and over, so we wanted to address them here as well.

As we are beginning the push to the first day of school, there is some information that needs to be pushed out. Some of the items to talk about include the new safety features on the bus, hazard light stops, bus stops, route numbers, and paperwork.

Saturday was a fun day at Clintonwood Park for the Independence Township Kids Day in the Park. Lots of kids enjoyed the school bus and it allowed an excellent opportunity to go over some of the newer features on the buses, hazard light stops, and more.

School is almost back in session and our general education buses will have a new look. Here is a quick look at them and in posts below, I'll attempt to explain some of the features that are rolling out on them for @LearnAtCCS . If you have any questions please let me know.

Here is a quick walk around of the bus displaying the hazard lights, overhead yellow lights, and overhead red lights to show what you will see on the bus.

You will also see a new feature in the center of the rear door. This will start to flash "caution stopping" whenever our hazard lights or overhead yellow lights are flashing. When our overhead red lights are on it will flash "stop do not pass."

A closer look at the additional lighting along the right side of the bus which will allow us to see students better on those dark winter mornings

Once again, on the front is the crossing arm to ensure that the kids are at a safe distance in front of the bus when crossing the street. You will also see additional lighting along the right side of the bus which will allow us to see students better on those dark winter mornings

While you don't see the red lights flashing, rest assured they are. Here you will see the stop arm extended on the side of the bus to alert motorists to stop. On the front is the crossing arm to ensure the kids are at a safe distance in front of the bus when crossing the street.

Today, and every day, we thank our bus drivers for all of their hard work day in and day out.

One week from today, is the annual @LearnAtCCS Transportation Department's annual Stuff-A-Bus event. We will be out at Neiman's collecting food for Lighthouse of Oakland County. Please help pass the word, and let's make this one of our most successful years yet!

This week is National School Bus Safety Week, please be cautious around school buses as they transport our most precious cargo. School bus lights are considered traffic lights so if they are flashing red stop.

During a one-day survey conducted by 2,013 Michigan school bus drivers in May 2025, drivers reported 2,207 times a motorist passed a school bus illegally. Red means STOP!

In Michigan in 2024, there were 1,044 crashes involving school buses, 54 of those happened at the bus stops. From the 54 bus stop crashes, there was one fatality, but not on a school bus, and there were 26 injuries. If the bus lights are flashing red – STOP!

Reminder: 1/2 day for students Friday, Oct. 17, and no school on Monday, Oct. 20. Enjoy your long weekend! #WeAreClarkston
