Transportation

Student Drivers

Parking permits for required students who drive themselves to school. Students need to complete an application, register the vehicle with the school, and pay a $5 parking fee (for the year). 

• Paper copies of the Application are available in the Student Activities Office in the Student Center.
• Registration can be completed online with this form: Parking Permit Registration Form. 
• Once these are both completed, students pay the $5 fee in the Student Activities Office to receive their parking permit.

Student parking is available west of the EHS main campus building. Students are not allowed to park in front of the EHS main campus.

Bus Riders

At the beginning of the year, incoming 9th and 10th grade students who are eligible for transportation will receive a letter in the mail with details about their bus route. If you have any questions about bus transportation, please contact the ECS Transportation Department at 574-262-5695. Bus riders load and unload behind (north) the EHS main campus. 

Parent Pick-up/Drop-off

Drivers who are dropping off students should turn north onto Crimson Crossing, then behind/around the ETI Building, then between the ETI Building and EHS (students should exit vehicles here). Drivers should then turn right to drive in front of the EHS building, then exit at the driveway west of EHS. 

After School Shuttle Bus Information

Elkhart High School recognizes the important role that co/extra-curricular activities play in our students’ development. We are happy to offer shuttle buses between the EHS Main Campus (10-12) and EHS Freshman Division on a daily basis for any students involved with athletics, music, drama, or clubs, so they can maximize their high school experience.      

General Guidelines for both campuses:  

• Students using the Shuttle buses will NOT be excused from school early.
• Students using this service should stay in their Advisory period at EHS Main Campus (10-12) and their Impact period at EHS Freshman Division.
• In-season student-athletes have priority for the first shuttle. Each school has “overflow” shuttles, but they will not get to the other school as early as the first shuttle.
• This bus is NOT to be used by students as a normal bus route home!

EHS Freshman Division to EHS Main Campus (10-12) Shuttle Guidelines:

• Freshmen will stay on the sidewalk to the far west of the bus line in front of the EHS Freshman Division building.  
• Bus #5 is the first shuttle and will arrive between 3:50-3:55pm. It will arrive at EHS Main Campus (10-12) around 4:10pm and drop off at Door #12.  
• If Bus #5 cannot accommodate all students, Bus #98 is "overflow" and it will be parked next to Bus #5. It will not leave until #5 has left.

EHS Main Campus (10-12) to EHS Freshman Division Shuttle Guidelines:  

• Students will report to Door #16, by the weight room.
• Bus #148 is the first shuttle and will arrive between 4:00-4:10pm. It will drop off at Rice Field and in front of EHS Freshman Division between 4:15-4:25pm.
