Bus Transportation

As Divine Child continues to welcome families from across metro Detroit, we recognize the need to make the journey to our school as seamless as possible. This fall, we are excited to introduce our new morning busing program which is designed to provide safe and convenient transportation for students traveling from further distances. For specific questions related to the busing program, please contact Mrs. Meghan Simonie at msimonie@divinechild.org.

Divine Child is excited to begin offering morning school transportation beginning Tuesday, September 2, 2025.

This activity will take place under the guidance and supervision of employees from Divine Child High School and/or Parish.

Please note, DCES students are eligible to ride the bus only if they have a DCHS sibling accompanying them.

DCHS Bus Guidelines & Expectations 

The guidelines listed below will assist us to ensure that anyone who travels on the bus is safe during their ride to and from school. The bus driver will ask for student ID cards and report any misconduct to the high school office. This could result in corrective disciplinary steps that will range from verbal warnings to expulsion from the transportation program. If a student is suspended or expelled from the transportation program, there will not be any monetary refund for unused time that is remaining for the school year.

  1. Parents shall wait at the bus stop to ensure their student is seated on the bus and not denied entry from the bus driver for some type of issue.
