Bus Program

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Saint Clement School Bus Program?
The Saint Clement School Bus Program is run 100% by parent volunteers in cooperation with the school. It provides bus service to and from Saint Clement School. The current bus route services the Roscoe Village/North Center neighborhoods where some of our school families are “clustered.” There is currently no dedicated bus service for kids in the after school program.

What are the Saint Clement School Bus Routes?
The Saint Clement School Bus Program currently has one bus serving the Roscoe Village/North Center neighborhood. An additional bus maybe added if a minimum of 30 new children are interested.

Who can ride the Saint Clement School Bus and how much does it cost?
The Saint Clement School Bus is open to any family (Pre-K through 8th grade) who are at least four years old by September 1st and agrees to our two simple rules:
1) You must sign our Authorization and Release Form and you and your children must sign and abide by our Parent/Child Agreement
2) You must pay (in advance) an annual fee which is determined based on the number of kids who participate.

How can I get my child on the bus?Priority is given to returning riders, their siblings and two-way riders. The Registration Form and a non-refundable $250 deposit per family, is due by a pre-determined date in each spring. The final payment and remaining forms are due roughly one month later to guarantee your child a seat on the bus. If you are interested in riding for the current school year, please contact Emily Comroe or Stacie Frank. If you are interested the following school year we encourage you to contact Emily Comroe or Stacie Frank as soon as possible to get on the wait-list.

How is the Saint Clement Bus program structured, who manages the buses?
Parent volunteers serve as bus coordinators to facilitate the Saint Clement Bus Program. The bus coordinators are responsible for the overall program-wide coordination of the bus program and are the point of contact for the bus company, parents and the school. They manage the bus company relationship, communicate notices to the school, and lead the effort to determine bus capacity. A checking account is maintained by the bus coordinators who handle payments directly to the bus company.

Who do I contact with questions on the bus?
Please contact our bus coordinators Stacie Frank or Emily Comroe with any questions.
