School Bus Information

Students riding the buses will be dropped off and picked up in the front of the school​

AISD’s transportation team offers families the WheresTheBusTM app, which provides timely information about the location of their child’s bus, including when it will arrive at their stop. The free app is available on any device with Internet access (smartphone, tablet, personal computer, iPod)—and takes less than five minutes to install. The instructions are posted on the transportation website at www.austinisd.org/transportation.
The duties and responsibilities of students, drivers, parents and administrators to ensure the safety of our students, which are available at: http://archive.austinisd.org/schools/bus/.https://www.austinisd.org/sites/default/files/dept/transportation/docs/Bus_Guidelines_2016.pdf 

Tardies​ 

Students miss important instruction when they are late.  Students who arrive after 7:45 am will be counted tardy. After three unexcused tardies the school will send out a warning letter stating the compensatory attendance law. After ten tardies, the schools are required to investigate & file on parents through the courts.
