Dear Parents/Guardians,
Designated bus stops are created where the public access road intersects with private roads, unpaved roads, non-county adopted roads and private properties; Board Policy, CNA (Legal). San Benito C.I.S.D. buses will not travel unto unpaved roads, partial-unpaved roads, private properties, and or other roads that are near canals, resacas, nor an area that does not have an open-wide safe space, for a complete turn-around.
As we prepare to provide our students and staff with transportation services for 2024-2025 School year, we have developed a plan with the well-being of everyone as our top concern. Register your child for transportation services by accessing Family Access on Skyward.
Below are the guidelines set in place effective January 12, 2022:
- Parents are to be present with their child/children enrolled in Pre-K through 4th grade at the designated bus stops.
- Parents are to be present to receive their child/children enrolled in Pre-K through 4th grade at the designated bus stop. Student(s) who do not have a parent/guardian present will return to their home campus.
- Parents will be responsible for picking up their child at the campus.
- Student bus riders must have their SMART TAG ID Badge to board the bus.
- Lost badges will be a $5.00 replacement fee, cash or money order only.
- Parents are encouraged to keep their child at home if they are feeling sick.
- Students will have assigned seats and must remain seated.
- Students will only be allowed to ride their assigned bus to and from school.
- Students are to keep their hands, feet and objects to themselves.
