Dear MCES Parents,
As we continue our work to plan the transportation routes and schedules for the 2025-2026 school year, we would like to remind all families that plan to utilize the SMCC School Day Transportation Service for all or part of the next school year to fill out this form by July 28 to assist with our planning purposes.
If you do not complete the form by the July 28 deadline, we cannot guarantee that you will receive transportation for this year. If you are still considering, please fill the form out now, and it is much easier for us to remove you later.
Costs for the 2025-2026 school year remain at $250 for one way transportation (morning or afternoon only) or $500 for full year both morning and afternoon service.
If you have any questions, please contact:
• SMCC Transportation Director: Jared Janssen at [email protected]
May God bless you and your families with the rest of your summer!
