Dear Sports Parents -- South Haven Athletics wants you to be aware of our new transportation policy. There is a state-wide shortage of bus drivers and we want to make sure we are transparent in sharing our plan for the coming athletic year:
TRANSPORTATION POLICY FOR 2022-2023:
Recent driver shortages continue to make transportation for athletic events very difficult. In anticipation of continuing shortages, we have modified our transportation policy for the upcoming 2022-2023 school year.
Whenever possible, South Haven Athletics will transport our athletes by school bus. We believe it is the safest and most convenient option for travel. However, it is very possible that we will not be able to provide busing in some circumstances.
Rather than completely leave transportation up to individuals and their parents, when busing is not available South Haven Athletics would like to arrange ride sharing in advance. We will attempt to utilize willing and able parents, coaches and other adults to provide transportation to and from athletic contests. South Haven Athletics will make every effort to organize this carpooling before the season begins. If you are able and willing to assist your athlete’s team, and have a safe driving record, we sincerely appreciate your help.
Students may NOT drive themselves to contests. Any parent who is uncomfortable with their athlete riding with another adult always has the option of providing their own transportation.
We realize this is not ideal, but South Haven Athletic is dedicated to making athletic transportation as safe and convenient as possible given the circumstances. Thank you.
