Transportation

Bus schedules are explained at school registrations, and information schedules can be obtained in your child's school office. For specific information on your child’s bus route and bus stop, please contact the bus office directly.

The Lee County Transportation Department is located at Lee Central Middle School at 41 Charlene Lane, Bishopville, South Carolina, 29010.  Should you have questions or concerns regarding transportation, please contact Transportation Director, Pamela Wessinger at (803) 428-2127. 

 

 

Lee County students in the 2nd grade and younger are not allowed to get off the bus without someone waiting at the bus stop for them; this could be an older sibling or an authorized adult. If no one is waiting for a young child, the school will try to contact the family, but if no contact can be made, the student will be brought back to the school.
Parents who wish to opt out of this safety procedure should contact the bus office to pick up a form that must be completed and notarized.

Lee County School District is using My Ride k-12 this year. The application provides quick access to your child's routing information, which can include the bus stop location, route number, and bus driver's name.
You will need to register your child before accessing the My Ride k-12 app here: 
The Student ID number that you will need to register can be found on your student’s schedule or by calling your child's school.
