Smart Tags
PARENTS - IF YOUR CHILD HAS A NEW BACKPACK THIS YEAR, PLEASE FIND THE SMART TAG THAT WAS PLACED ON THEIR BACKPACK LAST YEAR. THIS WILL SAVE US TIME AND THE EXPENSE OF PRINTING NEW TAGS.
For new students - New tags will be printed for all new students. These will be attached to your child's backpack and must be accessed each time they load and unload the bus.
Beginning of the Year Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I walk my child to to the classroom on the first day of school? Yes. The campus will be open for parents to walk to the classroom on the first day of school. We ask that all students walk to class on their own on the second day of school. There will be staff members helping students if they need to find their classroom.
2. When can I eat lunch with my child? The first two weeks of school are critical for learning about the classroom, halls restrooms, recess, lunch, and specials classes. This is important for setting procedural and safety procedures. We are limiting visitors until Monday, August 21st.
3. How do I make changes to my child's afternoon transportation? The best way to change transportation is with a note given to the teacher prior to instruction beginning for the day. It's best if you send a note to school with your child.
If you are not able to send a note, please email bushtransportationchanges@conroeisd.net. Please do not email, Bush@conroeisd.net.
4. Can I send a water bottle with my child? Yes. We encourage this. Please ensure your child's name is on the water bottle.
5. What if my child leaves their lunch at home? You can drop off the lunch at the drop off table located in the foyer.
