Transportation

Attention to Parents of Students

If your child is eligible to ride a school bus, please fill out the Transportation Request form when you enroll or register through Skyward.

How do I find my Child's Route? INFOFINDER

Bus stop information will be posted LIVE on the infofinder link - usually about a week before school starts. Please do not call the transportation department; we will send out a communication when Infofinder is live.

Eligibility

The Texas Education Agency, along with our local Board of Trustees, provides the opportunity for bus transportation for eligible students. The guidelines from the state are very rigid and must be followed. Rider eligibility is determined by the state as follows: “Transportation is only for those students who reside two or more miles from their assigned campus of regular attendance, measured by the shortest traveled route used by the public (not the way the bus may travel).” The two-mile marker may fall between two neighbors located on the same street. Walking into the eligible area to catch the bus is strictly prohibited. This prohibition will be enforced.

ID Required

Red Oak ISD always looks for ways to provide a safe environment for students. All eligible student bus-riders attending Secondary Schools (6-12) will be asked by their driver to present their student identification card. If your child loses their badge, we ask that they visit the campus office as soon as possible to get a replacement. Thank you for your support, and please help us by reminding your rider to always have their student ID badge.

Please also note that buses are considered an extension of each campus. The same rules and dress code apply. Students are not allowed to change clothes after school if they intend to ride the bus home.

Lost & Found Items

If your student has lost or found an item on the bus, please have them inform their bus driver. Drivers are asked to keep a log of any items that are lost or found on their bus. Parents may also contact the Transportation office at (972) 617-5101.

Transportation Request

All eligible students must submit a Transportation request every school year. If you want to change your transportation selection, please use Skyward forms to submit a request.
