Summer Bus Routes

Summer School bus routes are unique, as students from across the district are being transported to shared buildings that may not be in their typical zone. This means stops may not be within easy distance from your student’s home, and may require families to bring their students to the closest available bus stop, or one that works well for the family’s morning schedule. If you have any questions about routes or stop locations, please contact the Transportation Office at 417-625-5300.

The routes listed below are for general education students only. Special Education and Joplin Early Childhood students seeking bus transportation will be contacted by a bus aide to set up service individually. 

Thank you for letting us help get your students to Summer School!

A yellow school bus with an eagle logo is shown against a blue sky with clouds. The text 'Summer School Bus Routes' and 'Joplin Schools' are also visible.

MyStop Bus App

The VersaTrans MyStop Bus App is expected to work as usual during summer school routes. For families living outside of city limits who choose a bus stop that is most manageable for their time and location needs, they will be able to track the bus’s timing relative to that location. For help with the MyStop Bus App, please contact the Transportation Office at 417-625-5300.

High School Routes

High School students are welcome to get on the bus at any of the Middle School bus stops listed above.

We ask that high school students get off the bus in the afternoon at the same stop they arrived that morning.
