Note from the Counselors
Fostering A Growth Mindset in our Kids:
This month, our students are working on recognizing and developing a growth mindset. You may be wondering what this is: In the past, people used to think that our intelligence was fixed - meaning we were either smart or we weren’t. Scientists have proven again and again that simply is not true. Our brain acts like a muscle - the MORE we use it, the STRONGER (and SMARTER) our brain becomes.
Let’s help our kids grow their brains by embracing challenges. So the next time your child is not able to do something, let them know that it is okay to fail. Remind them that each time they fail and try again, their brain is growing stronger! DO NOT step in to prevent your child’s failure – this is how they learn to persevere in the face of challenges.

Bus Arrival Text Notification Option for Parents/Guardians
Conroe ISD Transportation now has the capability to send parents/guardians bus stop arrival text notifications. For information on how to register for optional parent notifications go to the link below or scan the QR code and click the SMART tag™ Parent Portal Registration link. Once you are at our website, follow the instructions to start receiving text notifications when your child’s bus is approximately 15 minutes away from the designated stop.
https://www.conroeisd.net/transportation/smart-tag/
Important Information:
1) The Smart tag™ Parent Notification system works effectively when drivers are able to follow their routes exactly as they are designed in the District’s routing system. When there is a situation such as a wreck, weather issue, etc., the route may be impacted. The driver may need to deviate from their designated path and approach the bus stop from another direction. If there is a deviation in the direction, the system may not send out the 15-minute arrival notification. Please contact your feeder Transportation Center if this occurs on a regular basis.
2) To access and receive your child’s bus stop information, you must create an account through the Smart Tag Parent Portal link above.
3) Instructional videos, links to additional information, and a Q&A section can also be found in the Smart Tag Parent Portal.
4) We ask for patience as we analyze incoming data and make necessary adjustments during implementation of the Smart Tag system.
Campus Open at 7:00
