The Transportation Department strives to support academic achievement by providing a safe and positive experience for students during their morning and afternoon rides to and from school. This guide will help students and parents/guardians understand the responsibilities involved with riding the school bus to ensure safety and reliability. Parents/guardians are encouraged to read and discuss this important information with their child.
Riding a school bus is a privilege provided by the Sharyland Independent School District. Misconduct on the bus or at the bus stop may result in a student losing this privilege.
To be eligible for transportation, a student must live within the boundaries of Sharyland I.S.D. Newly enrolled students will have to register with their Home Attendance School and have their address verified prior to getting permission to ride a school bus or be placed on a school bus route.
The bus driver's primary attention must be focused on safely transporting students. In order to accomplish this, Sharyland I.S.D. has incorporated safety rules that drivers are expected to follow.
Note: Approved video and audio recording equipment may be used for safety purposes to monitor student conduct.

Do NOT bring the following items on the bus:
Every bus has a DANGER ZONE around it. That is the area where the bus driver can't see you. The DANGER ZONE is 10 feet in every direction around the bus. It's 10 feet in front, 10 feet in back, and 10 feet on each side of the bus.
All students are required to scan their student ID cards when entering and exiting the school bus. This system helps ensure student safety by tracking ridership and allowing the Transportation Department to know who is on each bus.
When Boarding:
Scan your ID card on the reader as you enter the bus. Wait for the confirmation beep or signal.
When Exiting:
Scan your ID card on the reader as you exit the bus.
Lost or Damaged Cards:
Report to your school office immediately to get a replacement.
Remember: Scanning your ID card is mandatory and a requirement for bus transportation.
Thank you for reviewing this information with your children. We value the opportunity to provide transportation to Sharyland I.S.D. students.
