Marlette School bus

Marlette Elementary School Bus Drop Off Policy

All students in grades 5 and under will not be dropped off at their primary or alternate location unless someone is visible at the drop off location when the bus arrives. When the bus arrives, the student(s) will be held on the bus until someone from the home is visible to the driver. The visibility check may be a parent, guardian or an older sibling. The driver will wait approximately one (1) minute. The student will be returned to the school if there is no visibility check. Parents will then be called to pick up their child. Recurring instances of returning to school may result in the suspension of bus riding privileges.

Parents may sign an opt-out form if they do not wish to have this safety check in place for their student(s). Contact the Transportation Office at 989-635-4942 or kay.taylor@marletteschools.org.
