💗🚌 Happy National Boss’s Day to Mrs. Tiny McCool! 🚌💗

Today, we want to take a moment to recognize and celebrate our incredible Director of Transportation, Mrs. Tiny McCool!

We are beyond grateful for her unwavering dedication, tireless work ethic, and outstanding leadership day in and day out. Leading a transportation department is no easy task, but Mrs. Tiny continues to lead with strength, compassion, positivity, and a genuine heart for the people she serves.

Her encouragement, support, and positive influence help make even the longest and most challenging days worthwhile. She reminds us that great leadership isn’t just about getting the job done — it’s about uplifting others, building a team, and making a difference along the way.

Mrs. Tiny, thank you for the countless hours, sacrifices, and heart you pour into our department. Your hard work does not go unnoticed, and we are truly blessed to have you leading our Transportation family!

From all of us at Tuscaloosa City Schools Transportation, Happy Boss’s Day! We appreciate you more than words can express! 💐💗

Driven by Purpose. Powered by People. 🚌💚

🧹💙 Celebrating Our TCS Custodians! 💙🧹

Today, we’re shining a spotlight on the incredible custodians who help keep our schools clean, safe, welcoming and ready for learning every single day!

From the first morning arrival to the final bell, our custodial teams are working behind the scenes to care for our buildings and create environments where students can learn, teachers can teach and families can feel at home.

Their work may not always be in the spotlight, but their impact is felt in every hallway, classroom, cafeteria and common space across TCS. More importantly, they bring care, pride and dedication to the schools and students they serve.

Thank you to our amazing custodians for all you do to keep TCS looking its best and, most importantly, for helping make our schools places where everyone can thrive! 👏💙

We appreciate you today and every day!

🤩 We’ve made it through week 2️⃣

Here’s a couple of helpful reminders about the bus.

➡️ Beginning next week, drivers will begin taking attendance and we will start removing those that aren’t riding the bus to keep our attendance counts accurate.

We appreciate your patience as we’ve worked through our busy start up. We will also begin looking at ways to adjust a couple of the routes with late arrival times to ensure all of our students are arriving to school on-time.

We hope each of you have a wonderful weekend and we’ll see you on Monday 💛🚌
