The mission of the Ellendale Public School busing system is to provide a safe, reliable, and timely transportion option for families.

Changes to routes and busing are often necessary.  Beginning in 2008-2009 the district now uses an automated calling service called SchoolReach. In the event of poor weather causing delays or cancellations you will be contacted via SchoolReach within minutes. If you would like to ensure your home number is on the SchoolReach system or to add additional numbers (cells, work, etc) please contact the office at 349-3232.

Parents are asked to contact their route driver or the office as soon as possible if students are not riding.

Town Stops
Any residents within the city of Ellendale may send their child to one of the indicated town pickup/drop points. The specific pickup time for each is unique but is approximately between 8am and 815am. Drop offs will occur right after school is dismissed and should be done within 15 minutes or 3:45pm. We would advise parents, new the community, to take their child to pickup point the first few days to ensure a consistent and successful start.
