As is the case with many school districts around our area, the Massillon City School District is facing a bus driver shortage. With that said, if anyone is interested in becoming a bus driver, please contact Dan McGrath at 330-830-3910 for more information. Training will be provided. Parents - You will be receiving an email tomorrow, Wednesday, August 7, 2024, which will include your child's 2024-2025 busing information. The email will come from the Massillon Transportation Department. You will also receive a separate email which will include information about our new bus app, StopFinder. StopFinder will replace the MyStop app. As we start the school year, please know that we are doing our best to combine routes while still ensuring efficiency. Some routes will be running behind. If there is an extended lapse between student dismissal and bus drop off, factors may include extended bus routes with more stops due to limited drivers. Please download the StopFinder app to receive the most up to date information on your child's bus route. Thank you for your patience!

We're excited to announce some updates to our administrative team for the upcoming school year!🐯
