Things to keep in mind -


  • CISD does not offer transportation to students who live less than a mile from the campus.
  • Parents or guardians must submit an Alternate Stop Request Form each school year for service to an alternate stop. Students who are not eligible for transportation services may not be allowed to request or utilize an alternate stop. Parents can request an alternate stop when you register your child for transportation.
  • Transportation cannot change addresses for students. Please contact our PEIMS Clerk, Mrs. Jordan (cjordan1@conroeisd.net) for address changes or corrections. Once the address change has been made, it takes about 48 hours for Transportation to process the change.
