Stopfinder
Dear Parent or Guardian,
The SHAWNEE LOCAL SCHOOLS will be once again using the Stopfinder app. Stopfinder is the easy to use, all-in-one app that allows you to have the most accurate information about your student’s bus schedule at anytime from anywhere. In addition to displaying your student’s transportation information, Stopfinder features a private messaging feature that will allow you to communicate directly with the SHAWNEE Transportation Department. You can also create GeoAlerts for your student, which will notify you when the bus has arrived in or departed from any location on your student’s route, including their assigned bus stop and school. GeoAlert Alert Zones can be created for individual students allowing you to customize the Alert Zone based on their bus route.The email address that is currently on file with the district, the address used for this communication, will be used for Stopfinder setup. Please verify you have the information in Final Forms. Stopfinder can be downloaded for free from the App Store or Google Play. Stopfinder will require an invite and registration through the district prior to accessing your student’s transportation schedule. Please watch your email for a Stopfinder invitation .Thank you, SHAWNEE TRANSPORTATION DEPT.
This is important as this is the only means of checking your students' bus information.

We would like to take a moment to recognize the school counselors who work so hard to help our students succeed. National School Counseling Week is the perfect time to acknowledge all of the work that these counselors put into our school district. This year's American School Counselor Association theme is "Standards-Based, Student Focused" and it's the perfect description of the mindset that our counselors carry each day.
Thank you to our school counselors: Mrs. Rex, Mrs. Bidlack, Ms. Wood, Mrs. Schmiedebusch, Mr. Christoff, Mrs. Melson, as well as our Student and Family Support Coordinator Stephanie Kiefer. Please take the time this week to thank your school counselor for all that they do!
Congratulations to the Shawnee high school students who participated in the Ohio Music Education Association District 3 Solo & Ensemble Contest on Saturday! These young musicians represented themselves and Shawnee very well!
