Frequently Asked Questions

  • Beginning in August, parents will be able to utilize the Info-Finder link on this page to find your students'  information.  Simply click on the link, type in your address, and click search.  You will either see the stop information, or a message to call MFISD Transportation for more information.

  • When completing the student registration process in Skyward, you will have completed the necessary paperwork for your child to ride the school bus. Should your selection change, please contact your child's campus or the Transportation office at 830-798-2300

  • Pre-K, Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd Grade MUST have an approved adult or approved sibling at the bus stop.  Guardians will list approved individuals on students' skyward profile.

  • Loading at the campuses takes additional time for teachers, school staff, and bus drivers to get familiar with the students.  During this time, there is increased traffic around all campuses and our first priority is to get your students home safely.

  • Students' eligibility for service is determined by the place of residence. We do not transport to a workplace.

  • Students are only allowed to ride their assigned school bus.

  • The Transportation dispatch line at 830-798-2300. Once the bus has left the campus, the student can only be dropped at their designated stop or returned to the campus.

  • Buses are not allowed to stop while on route to allow students to use the restroom.  All students are encouraged to use the restroom prior to loading the bus.

  • The air conditioner on a school bus does not cool like the air conditioner in your home or vehicle. The bus is not insulated like your home and vehicle are.  Also, the door is opened and closed between 40 and 50 times per route, so the cool air goes out the door.

  • Students may bring a bottle of water that has a lid on the bus.  Students may not eat on the bus due to an increased choking hazard, as well as the possibility that any food may be shared with a student that has an allergy to the food.

  • Students should be at the bus stop five (5) minutes prior to the stop time.

  • Pre-K, Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd  Grade students MUST have an authorized adult present at the bus stop in order to be released.  If an authorized adult is not present, the student will be returned to the campus at the conclusion of the route.  Students that are 3rd grade and above may be dropped off without an adult present. 

  • The only people that a Pre-K, Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd Grade student will be released to are people that are authorized to take the student home. Prior authorization should have been filled out when enrolling students, for such emergencies.
