HELPFUL LINKS
A Tradition of Excellence ~
Maconaquah Schools Transportation Department consists of 48 active employees who utilize a fleet of 48 vehicles to transport our students to and from school. On any given morning or afternoon, we transport approximately 75% of our student body.
Each school year, we provide extra-curricular transportation for our athletes, musicians, and academic students. Our drivers are conscientious professionals who go above and beyond to ensure the safety of their passengers and the motorists with whom they share the road.
PIPE CREEK ELEMENTARY - STUDENT PICK UP AND DROP OFF
MORNING DROP OFF
Car riders should not arrive at school prior to 8:05 a.m. Car riders should be delivered to the front entrance. Parents should pull up to the circle to unload students and should not leave their cars. Students must exit their car on the passenger’s side, NOT the driver’s side. The half circle near the front doors is for drop-and-go only.
If parents choose to leave their vehicles to help their child gather belongings or walk to the door, they must park in a marked parking space. There are marked parking spaces in the teachers’ lot, near the big maple tree, on the inside of the circle near the front door, and near the log cabin.

ZONAR Z PASS SYSTEM
Maconaquah School Corporation has implemented the use of the Zonar Z Pass system to be more accountable for where our bus riders are.
Every student at Maconaquah is issued a student ID that doubles as their bus pass.
Students are required to scan on and off the bus. The information will be logged in our system showing when and where students scanned on/off the bus.
As their student ID, this card is also used for lunch and library purposes.
