Middle School Bus Resolution

Attention: Suncrest Timberline Middle School Parents & Students

Beginning tomorrow morning Sept. 1^st, the middle school students will have two buses to transport them in both directions. The district has allocated bus #675 (the question mark bus with Alberto as driver) and bus #710 (State of Utah bus with Doug as driver) to our SunCrest route. Two requests from the district are that the Mercer Reserve (Winged Trace) students continue to board the question mark bus as he will be making the stop at the designated spot. Also, once the student has chosen a bus to ride, they are asking that the student continue to ride that bus throughout the school year. This will help to better track the students in the event of an emergency.

Thank you for your patience while the district worked to resolve the crowding issue.

NOTE: There was a new Ann Taylor cardigan found at the bus stop after the Middle School students boarded. Please call Tawny at 523.8198 for info.

Middle School Bus Information

Attn: Parents of Timberline Middle School Students

Please know that the District Transportation Office is aware of our concerns about the crowded bus situation in Suncrest and is working to remedy the problem by week's end. They are looking at buses/drivers/routes in order to find a driver and bus that is available to be a second bus for the middle school students in the morning. They have found a temporary solution for the return trip home so there will be a second bus (the snowflake bus) starting today to bring the kids home. But for now, the morning ride will require a little squishing and patience for those at the Information Center bus stop. They will be making a second morning run to pick up the kids at the Southfield bus stop.

Parents, please be patient and know that the transportation dept is working diligently to come up with a solution quickly.

Please note that this ‘temporary solution’ might affect the time that the Snowflake bus drops off the Ridgeline Elementary children in the afternoon…hopefully only by a few minutes.

Summit Academy Carpool

My daughter attends Summit Acadamy and I'm looking for a carpool for her. I saw the bus stop info for Ridgeline and thought it might be equally helpful to have some Summit info there.
Anyone interested can contact me directly at this email address or by phone...
Thank you for your help!

Bus Stop Volunteers needed!

On Monday morning, bus passes will be distributed to Ridgeline Elementary students.
Sara Kocsis, SunCrest Transportation Safety Committe Chair, has asked for several volunteers to be at the bus stop in the morning for both A and B tracks to do the following: 1. check names of students against lists of which bus they rode last year and 2. distribute the appropriate bus pass.
This is a one time volunteer request.

A Track volunteers need to be at the bus stop at 7:15 am
B Track volunteers need to be at the bus stop at 8:30 am

Any interested volunteers, please contact either: Sara Kocsis at kocsis5@comcast.net or 801.601.8889 or Nancy Bromfield at ridgelineptaleadership@gmail.com or 801-649-0908.

SunCrest Bus Stop Information

To Parents of Ridgeline Elementary students-

A few important reminders regarding the Suncrest Bus Stop!

Bus Assignments/Passes
We have been notified by Dr. Higgins (Principal) that last year’s bus assignments are being carried over. Therefore, we need all children to ride the same bus they were assigned to last year.

Bus passes will be made and handed out again soon. Each child needs to keep this bus pass on their backpacks throughout the year. If they are riding home with a friend on a different bus, they need a letter of permission from their parent to ride the bus.

Also, I am in desperate need of volunteers to help me assemble the 600 bus passes needed this year. Please call me if you can help! (Sarah Kocsis – 801.601.8889)

One-Way traffic flow during bus pick-up and drop-off times
- Enter in by the market (off of Suncrest Drive)
- Exit onto Deer Ridge Road

DO NOT ENTER by way of Deer Ridge to pick up or drop off your children!

Pick-up and drop-off times

The District Transportation Office needs parents to drop off children 5 minutes BEFORE buses arrive. This allows traffic to clear before buses enter the Market entrance, permitting buses to load and depart on schedule and avoid unnecessary danger to our children. This will also alleviate the identified safety hazard of unsupervised children approaching through the traffic area.

Below is the bus schedule. **IMPORTANT** Click on the image for a larger view!



Thank you to all my bus stop volunteers that we’ve had for the past 2 years. We are hoping to not NEED volunteers this year. Per the District Transportation Office, if everyone can come early and follow the One-Way traffic pattern (which has been requested by the District Transportation Office) then we should be okay to do this without the need of daily bus stop volunteers!

We hope to have a great and SAFE year as Suncrest Residents attending Ridgeline Elementary!

Thank you for your cooperation,

Sarah Kocsis
