• Students will be returned to the Transportation Department if no one is at home to receive the student.  Child Protective Services may be called for students that are frequently returned undeliverable.  We ask that Pre-K parents, or an authorized adult, be at home at the time the students are dismissed from school.  The drop off time can vary depending on how many students are riding the bus that day.
    

• A consistent pick-up and drop off location will ensure that your child will be on the right bus going to the right place.  Constant changes cause confusion for the child, teacher and the bus drivers.  Changes to bus stop locations are not allowed unless approved by the Transportation Department.  Letters will go out to the parents when routes or stops are changed, prior to the execution of these changes.
    

• When there is a need to change your child’s drop off destination, the teacher and the bus driver must have a written note with a parent signature and be approved by the school office personnel.
    

• Please call the Transportation Department (512-268-8479) with concerns about your child’s bus.  We have 2-way radio communication with all our buses, and drivers alert the dispatcher of any problems they may be having.
   

• Students are expected to be out at their stops 5 minutes before the scheduled time of the bus arrival.  Buses will not honk for your students.
    

• Parents should discuss the bus safety rules with their child.  A safety citation, given to the student, is the first step in notifying parents that their child is not following the rules and riding safely.  Safety citations are primarily for elementary students and are used at the discretion of the bus driver.  We are committed to the safety of our students and the safety citation is a way to open up communication with the parents.

“Please remember, riding a school bus in Texas is a privilege, not a right!”
