Parents of Bus Riders
Dear Parents,
Alief ISD uses a program designed to increase safety and security for students riding on the bus - SMART TAG ID.
By using SMART ID cards and iPads mounted inside each bus, students will scan onto and off of the bus each morning and afternoon.
SMART tag technology provides real-time information on students loading and unloading data to the school, the Alief ISD Transportation Department and to you, the parent.
Requirements
- The student keeps the SMART ID cards attached to their backpack, or around their neck at bus loading time to get on the bus.
- They must wear the cards home each day and bring it back to school the next day.
- If a student loses his card, they are $5 to replace.
If your child loses his card, an envelope will be sent home indicating that they will need to pay $5 to replace. You may place the $5 in the envelope and send it back to school with your child to receive the replacement card.
If you have any questions, please contact the Alief ISD Transportation Department at 281-983-8400.
Visit the Alief Transportation Website for more information.
NOTE: There is no GPS function in the card itself. The GPS is located in the bus-mounted iPad.
Car Riders - Important Information
Reminder - Parents of Car Rider Students
Car Tags are required to be displayed on your dashboard in order to pick up students through the car rider line. For the safety of our students, if you do not have a car tag clearly displayed on your dashboard, you will be asked to park your car and come inside to show the proper ID.
