Obion County Middle School (OCMS)Transportation Information for Families 

We know that starting a new school brings questions, so we want to share with our OCMS families what transportation will look like for OCMS students this year.

Here’s what you need to know:

Bus Riders

● Students will continue to be picked up at their regular bus stop or home, just like always.

● Buses will transport students to their home school as normal, which will either be Hillcrest or Lake Road, depending on where they were zoned. Students will then ride a transfer bus to OCMS.

● In the afternoon, OCMS buses will return students to Hillcrest or Lake Road to get on their normal buses to go home on their regular routes.

Car Riders

● Morning Drop-Off: 7:35–8:00 a.m. (back of the school)

● Classes Begin: 8:00 a.m.

● Afternoon Dismissal: Car riders will begin dismissing at 3:00 p.m.

Early Morning ESP is available from 6:35–7:35 a.m. After-school ESP will also be available until 5:30. Stop by the ESP table at Back-to-School Night to learn more.

Dropping Off at Hillcrest or Lake Road?

If you plan to drop your OCMS student off at Hillcrest or Lake Road instead of bringing them directly to OCMS, please have them there by 7:35, so they can catch the transfer bus to OCMS.

Have questions?

We will have a Transportation Table at Back-to-School Night on Thursday, July 30 from 6:00–8:00 p.m., where we’d be happy to help answer your questions.

We understand that a new school comes with changes, but we hope this helps put your mind at ease. Your student’s regular bus stop is staying the same. We’re simply adding a shuttle between our elementary campuses and OCMS to save you from having to drive to multiple schools. We can’t wait to welcome everyone to the first year of Obion County Middle School!
