Visitors/Bussing/Parent Pickup & Dropoff
Visitors
Except under special circumstances, no one is allowed to visit teachers or students during school hours. Guests may park in the lot marked "visitors" near the Cafeteria entrance and enter through the Daytime Entrance. For the safety of our students and staff, visitors going beyond the main office must be expected by the staff person they are going to see, are required to sign in, and must wear a visitor's badge.
Bussing
Bussing for all Effingham High School students is available both to and from school. Bussing will be provided as close as possible to the student's home, but only at designated drop off points. To set up bussing or make changes to bussing, requests should be submitted via email to Transportation Director Bryan West at [email protected].
Parent Drop Off
Parents are welcome to drop off their students before the start of school at the Auto Shop parking lot located at the Southwest corner of the building. Parents should line up using the Route 40 parking lot entrance. Students are then required to enter the building through the EHS Gymnasium doors.
For student safety, do not use the circle drive by the cafetorium or drop them off in the staff parking lot.
Parent Pickup
Parents are welcome to pick up their students at the Auto Shop parking lot located at the Southwest corner of the building. Parents should line up using the Route 40 parking lot entrance. Students will come out of the building when the final bell rings at 2:50 pm.
For student safety, do not use the circle drive by the cafetorium or pick them up in the staff parking lot.
Parents picking up their students during the school day must call into the Effingham High School attendance secretary 217-540-1100 and give verbal consent that the student can leave the school premises.
