Bus Loader video


This program will provide step-by-step instructions on loading bus numbers and bus stops for students and can be used to print bus rosters.


Select Loaders under the Student Master program area on the left of the screen. Select Bus Loader.


Setup Box Options

To find definitions for standard setup values, follow this link: Standard Setup Options.

For other set up values not listed in the standard set up list:

  • Select whether to show All bus assignments or only Morning or only Evening.
  • Bus--When loading bus assignments this field needs to be left blank to get a list of all students. If printing bus rosters, click in this field and select the bus number(s)s for which you need a roster.

In the List Students area:

  • Check Show All Active/Inactive Students to show all students (not just active students)
  • Select Loaded--Display students according to if they are assigned a bus or not --All, Assigned, or Unassigned
  • Select SPED--All, Sped Only, or Non Sped

Click Ok to move to the next screen.

The students will be listed on the left side of the screen with bus/stop numbers listed on the right.


Definitions of Column Headers--only the defined columns below can be edited or have values entered with the loading process.

NOTE With the exception of the following four columns, the columns are self-explanatory.
  • Morning Bus--Column in which the student's morning bus number will be loaded.
  • Morning Stop--Column in which the student's morning bus stop will be loaded.
  • Evening Bus--Column in which the student's evening bus number will be loaded.
  • Evening Stop--Column in which the student's evening bus stop will be loaded.


NOTE Before continuing you will need to verify that the bus/stop numbers that you will be loading are in the list of numbers on the right side of the screen.


To add a bus number/stop to the list at the right use this group of instructions.

  1. Click the Add Bus button at the bottom right of the screen.
  2. A popup will appear on the screen.
  3. Enter the bus/stop number in the popup.
  4. Click OK.
  5. The new number will appear in the list on the right side of the screen.

Note: Adding a bus means that it shows up on the list on the right hand side temporarily. After you choose some students and pick the new bus number from the right hand side, that will keep the bus number for all future instances of the program. The newly added bus is there only long enough to be able to add a student to it. When you enter the program, it pulls the buses from the student information. If all you do is enter the program, add a bus and exit, and you have not added a bus to a student, the list does not populate.


Loading Bus Numbers or Bus Stops

  1. To load the same bus/stop to all students on the screen:
    • Click the check box at the top of the bus/stop column.
    • An asterisk (*) will appear in the column by all student names.
    • Select the bus/stop number from the list on the right.
    • All asterisks will be replaced by the selected bus/stop number.
    • A message that all records have been updated will appear.
    • Click OK.
  2. To load a bus/stop to multiple students or a single student:
    • Click in the bus/stop cell by the name(s) of the student(s) that need the same bus/stop number.
    • An asterisk (*) will appear in the bus/stop number cell by the selected name(s).
    • Select the bus/stop number from the list on the right.
    • All asterisks will be replaced by the selected bus/stop number.
    • A message that all records have been updated will appear.
    • Click OK.
