District Transportation Information
Buses and Other School Vehicles
The district makes school bus transportation available to all students living two or more miles from school and to any students who are experiencing homelessness. This service is provided at no cost to students.
Bus routes and stops will be designated annually. Any subsequent changes will be posted at the school and on the district's website. For the safety of the driver and all passengers, students must board district vehicles only at authorized stops and drivers must unload passengers only at authorized stops.
There are no walkways where students must walk along or across at the following locations:
State Hwy 78
Business Hwy 78
Farm to Market 545
Farm to Market 981
Collin County Road 504
Because students in these areas might encounter hazardous traffic conditions or be subject to a high risk of injury when walking to and from school, the district will provide transportation to these students.
