Walking School Bus

What is a Walking School Bus?

Every Friday your child can join other Bagley friends to walk to school together! Students are picked up by volunteer leaders at a Walking Bus Stop along a set route, and delivered safely to the playground with time to play before the first bell. Walking School Buses are a great way to promote community, safety, fitness, and being green.

Check out the Walking School Bus map showing the two "buses."  One from the northeast leaves at 9:05 a.m. from 88th and Burke and one from the southwest leaves at 8:45 a.m. from 70th and Dayton. The map shows the specific route.

No need to email or sign up in advance. Just be somewhere along the route at the appropriate time and join in!

Bagley has a strong community of walkers (on buses and on their own). Let's grow our ranks!

If these routes aren't in your neighborhood and you're interested in starting an additional route, please email Brooke (brookedoyle at yahoo), and let her know where you are and if you have neighbors who might want to be part of a regular route. Contact Brooke with any questions.

How do I get to school?

I'm glad you asked!

Bagley students come by car, school bus, bike, and foot. SPS has new guidelines for which students are eligible for bus service this year based on location (more effects of big budget cuts), so we can expect to see a shift towards more cars, bikes and walkers.

No matter what modes of transportation you will be using,note that the playground is supervised starting around 20-25 minutes before the first bell, so you can leave kids at school just after 9.
