Important Parent Information

Please note that Emmaus Church parking lot is not supervised by church staff, and remind your children that it is unsafe to run around the parking lot without supervision. We want to ensure all our Mustangs stay safe.

Please be sure to pull your car as far forward as possible for arrival and dismissal for a more efficient car line.

If you need to buckle your child, please pull forward to the parking spaces so the car line can keep moving.

If you need to unbuckle your child for drop off in the morning, please use the parking spaces for visitors and walk your child to the crosswalk. A staff member will help escort them across to the main entrance.

Please do not allow your child to cross Lohmans Crossing Rd. without a crossing guard to escort them.

Important Information About Car Tags

Mustang Parents,

Please leave your car tag up and visible during after school pick up. Teachers need to make sure they are calling the correct students for each car. Thank you so much!

SMART Tag and Transportation

Bus routes for the 2024-2025 school year are now available via SMART tag, our on-board tablet solution designed to increase the safety and security of students who use school bus transportation. Please note, SMART tag has transitioned from its parent portal to a new, stand alone mobile app for Android and iOS devices. As a result, all routes can be accessed exclusively on the app. Parents with existing SMART tag accounts can download the app and use their email address to sign up. More information about SMART tag can be found on the Transportation Department website.

Some of our bus routes as well as pick-up and drop-off times have been adjusted from the previous school year. Did you know that you can receive push notifications regarding approximate arrival times, delays, and other updates regarding our transportation services? To do so, be sure to review your settings and preferred notifications in the SMART tag app.

If your child will be riding the bus this school year and you have yet to enroll in transportation services, you may request services by selecting the ‘Transportation Update Form’ in Skyward Family Access. Additionally, if your contact information is not updated in Skyward Family Access, our Transportation Department will not be able to correctly identify your child’s bus route. Be sure to visit the Transportation Department web page for additional resources.
