As you know, for the past two years, South Haven Public Schools along with many other districts across the county, state, and nationally, have been impacted by a bus driver shortage. With the generous assistance of our school families volunteering to transport student athletes to competitions this year, our kids have enjoyed great athletic experiences. We are truly grateful to our dedicated parents/guardians and coaches for coming together to support our students in this way and ask that we continue to utilize the systems we’ve put in place going into the 2023-24 school year.
If you have a middle or high school student participating in athletics and are willing to transport kids to and from competitions, etc., please take a moment to fill out the Volunteer Form. This is a required form to drive students and generates a simple background check to further ensure safety. You can find the form by going to: https://southhavenmi.sites.thrillshare.com/page/volunteer-applications
We thank you, again, for assisting the district in making the best out of a difficult situation. The district is actively searching for bus drivers! If you or someone you know may be interested, please reach out to us at (269) 637-0500 or apply at www.shps.org
