Transportation Information

Parents may request transportation to summer school, but this request must be approved by the Birdville Transportation Department as meeting certain criteria for bussing.  Your child will only qualify for transportation if you live over 2 miles from the summer school campus or if there is a special circumstance.  If your student has been assigned to a new campus during the school year, then the student must go to the home campus location in your neighborhood to ride the bus. Transportation will be provided from major apartment complexes.  You may request transportation during the summer school registration process in your child's Focus Portal.

All transportation for summer school is set up on the student's home campus or the closest elementary campus to your home for the school year. Please call your student's school to set up transportation and do not contact the transportation department directly.  If a parent requests transportation during registration, your child should receive information via Focus, email, or a letter from the campus about the bus number, times, and locations.  If you don't receive any information, please contact your current child's teacher or home school's front office. Buses do not make neighborhood stops except in special circumstances, such as if a school is being rebuilt or for special education.   Please note that any new bus assignments or changes to your child's enrollment can affect bus assignments. In these instances, please be prepared to transport your child during their first three (3) days of school.

Please remember that your child must be at the bus stop at least 7–10 minutes before pick-up. All parents/guardians with students in kindergarten/1st grade must have a signed release form on file in the Transportation Department. This form can be found at your home campus.  All parents/guardians with students in kindergarten must meet their child at the bus stop. These students will not be permitted to exit the bus without a parent/guardian present at arrival unless previously noted in writing to the Transportation Department.  

If you have changes in transportation for your student during summer school, please call the main office of the summer school. This ensures that we get the correct information to students about how they will be picked up from school.
