Back to School - Transportation

Heads up, Prosper Proud families: our buses do have air conditioning, but with Texas heat and frequent stops (doors opening, engine idling), it mostly just takes the edge off rather than making the bus feel cold. Please send your student with a water bottle and lightweight clothing for the ride to and from school.

Be sure to continue checking Skyward through the first 2 weeks of school for any updates or changes.

Please be patient for the first 2 weeks of school as traffic and buses may be running late due to Parent Traffic. If you are experiencing constant delays after the first 2 weeks of school, please email PISDBUS@prosper-isd.net.

To enhance student safety and accountability, all Prosper ISD bus riders in grades PK–12 will be required to have and use a Bus Rider ID Badge for transportation services.

Each badge contains RFID technology that helps us:

• Confirm students are boarding the correct bus.

• Improve rider accountability.

• Assist with student location verification during transportation operations.

• Support campus and parent inquiries.

• Enhance emergency response capabilities.
• Improve overall student safety.

• Students will receive their Bus Rider ID Badge the week of August 24.

• Students should bring their Bus Rider ID Badge to school each day.

• BBeginning September 1, 2026, all students must have their badge to scan on and off the bus.

• Students will scan their badge when boarding and exiting the bus.

• If a badge is lost or damaged, please notify your campus as soon as possible.

• Additional information regarding replacement badges will be shared by the campus.

The Bus Rider ID Badge program is designed to provide an added layer of safety and accountability while helping us better serve students and families.

• General Education bus details will be available in your Skyward account starting August 1 after 6 PM. If you don’t see your student’s bus information right away, please keep checking through August 10. If it's still not available after that date, email us at PISDbus@prosper-isd.net for assistance.

🚍 Parents, let’s work together to keep our students safe! Our Transportation Team has essential tips to help ensure every bus ride this school year is safe, smooth, and successful.

• All buses have seatbelts. Students should wear them when riding the bus.
• Be early – arrive at your stop 5-10 minutes early.
• Stand back – Stay 10 feet from the curb while waiting for the bus.
• Stay alert at the stop.
• Don't rush the bus- wait until it has come to a complete stop.
• Stay seated.
• Keep aisles clear.
• Don’t touch emergency exits.
• Follow the bus driver’s Instructions – they’re there to keep you safe.
• Never go under the bus – If you drop something, tell the driver.
• Be kind.

First, use InfoFinder to find your zoned campus and check if your student is eligible for transportation.

If you did not register for bus service during the New or Returning Student Registration process and it is after the July 10, 2026, deadline, you may use the Transportation Change Request Form link or log into your Skyward Family Access account to access the form under District Links.

If your student is eligible for transport, and you registered after the July 10 deadline, transportation will not be provided until the week of August 24. During that week, you may check your Skyward Family Access Account for your student's bus stop information.

Please note: Your student can only be routed to the address indicated in Skyward. Please ensure that information is kept current. Please submit only 1 request per student.
