What Are Satellite Bus Stops?
Satellite bus stops are central pick-up and drop-off locations where multiple students meet the school bus, instead of the bus stopping at every individual home or neighborhood street.
Think of them like designated hub stops. Safe, convenient points in the community that help our buses run faster and more efficiently.
Why Do Schools Use Satellite Bus Stops?
Quicker routes: Buses spend less time stopping, which helps students get to school on time.
More reliable: Fewer stops means fewer delays.
Safer pick-up points: Satellite stops are chosen because they are visible, accessible, and considered safe for families.
Helps cover more areas: It allows the school to reach more neighborhoods with the same number of buses.
What Families Need to Know:
You will receive the exact location, pick-up time, and drop-off time for your child’s satellite stop.
Families are responsible for getting students to and from the satellite stop.
Stops are typically placed at community centers, parks, churches, or large neighborhood intersections to make them easy to find.
Students should plan to arrive 5–10 minutes early to avoid missing the bus.
Why This Helps Our School Community
Satellite bus stops help us run a more efficient transportation system, making it possible to serve more students across Nashville while keeping routes safe, predictable, and on time.
I am an experienced and passionate educator with a deep commitment to student success and school community building. I hold a Bachelor’s degree from Middle Tennessee State University and a Master’s in Secondary Education with a focus in Mathematics from Relay Graduate School of Education. Over the past eight years, I’ve had the privilege of serving in a variety of educational roles that have shaped my approach to leadership and student engagement.
My career began as a substitute teacher with Metro Nashville Public Schools (MNPS), where I discovered my passion for education. I went on to teach middle school math and science, experiences that allowed me to connect deeply with students and cultivate a love for learning in the classroom. For the past four years, I have served as Dean of Students, a role that has enabled me to support students beyond academics and help foster a positive, inclusive school culture.
What I love most about education is that every day brings a new opportunity to make a meaningful impact in the lives of students. I strive to create an environment where students and families not only feel supported and valued but also view the school as their second home—a place where they enjoy learning, growing, and working together.
