Parents just a reminder that Tdap (Tetanus/Diptheria/Pertussis) and Meningococcal are required BEFORE the first day of school, August 9, 2023, as well as any other immunizations not in compliance with state law. The Department of State Health Services is not waiving the immunization requirements due to Covid-19.

If your child has received these immunizations and you have not sent a copy of your vaccine record to the school, please forward your student's updated record via email to gcastillo@conroeisd.net or fax to (936) 709-8599.

If you wish to receive an exemption for immunizations, please request the form online at https://www.dshs.texas.gov/immunize/school/exemptions.aspx . The form must be notarized and the original kept here in your student's health file.

Students must have an updated immunization record on file with Irons to receive a schedule on the summer schedule pick-up day.

Enjoy your summer and stay well!

To the parent(s) of:

We are excited to announce online verification of student registration for the upcoming school year! This process replaces the paper forms sent home at the beginning of each school year. Your verification of student registration for Student at Conroe Independent School District is now available online.

How do I get started?
Click this snapcode link: individual for each student

What’s a snapcode?
By clicking on the link , you are automatically entering your child's snapcode. The snapcode is like a key to your child’s verification of student registration for the upcoming school year. You should receive a unique snapcode or snapcode link for each child.

Should I create an account?
- If you’ve never completed an online verification of student registration, you should create an account. This allows you to securely save your work and come back at a later time if necessary. You can use your email address or cell phone number.
- If you already have an account, you can sign in and complete the form. (You should use the same account to complete forms for multiple children.)

Do I have to answer all the questions?
Questions marked with a red asterisk (*) are required.

What if I make a mistake?
If you would like to make a change, click on the underlined field or click “< Prev” to return to a previous page.

I’ve completed the form, now what?
When you have finished entering your information, click “Submit.” This will send all of the information you’ve entered to the school. If you cannot click on this button, you will need to make sure that you have answered all required questions.

What if I have more than one student in the district?
Do I need to do this for each child? Yes, because you’ll need to provide information that is specific for each child. We recommend that you submit one verification of student registration and then start another – this will allow you to “snap over” shared family information, which will save you time.

I don’t know what a question is asking.
You can contact your child's school or email at registration@conroeisd.net to ask any general questions about the form or the online verification of student registration process.

Help! I’m having technical difficulties.
For technical support, visit our PowerSchool Enrollment Family Support at https://help.powerschool.com/t5/reg or email support@powerschool.com or call (866) 752-6850, Monday through Friday, 7 AM - 4 PM.

Conroe ISD uses the SMARTtag™ ID system to increase security and efficiency across our campuses.

Note that returning Conroe ISD students will use their SMART tag™ ID from the previous year. Students new to a campus will receive a new SMART tag™ ID.

Learn how the system works and find FAQs at www.conroeisd.net/transportation/smart-tag/

To receive notifications about your child’s bus, including departure and bus stop arrival times, sign up for the SMART tag™ Parent portal at www.conroeisd.net/transportation/smart-tag-parent-portal/

Board policy states that students who live more than one mile from school or students who live near identified hazardous roads, such as a highway, are eligible for transportation.

• When you register your child for transportation, the system will automatically assign a bus stop unless your physical home address is within one mile of your child’s school.
• If you do not need bus service, visit www.conroeisd.net/transportation/, select “Register for Transportation”, and click “No”.

Students who were registered for transportation last year in CISD are automatically registered to ride the bus the following school year unless there is a change in their home address or they now attend a school that is within one mile of their home.

• Students who are “new” to CISD or new bus riders must register for bus service online to be assigned to a bus. Please note that bus assignments can take up to five school days.
• You can register your children for transportation services and look up bus stop information by visiting our website at www.conroeisd.net/department/transportation.

1. Click “Register for Transportation” to register your child.

2. Click “What Bus Do I Ride?” to look up your child’s bus route.

3. Click “Student Eligibility” and enter your child’s Student ID number and date of birth to obtain their bus information for your child’s campus.

• PreK-4th---600ft
• 5th-6th-----600ft
• 7th-8th-----1200ft
• 9th-12th---2400ft

The one-mile measurement is made from the point at which the driveway of the residence meets the public/community road to the nearest point where any campus driveway meets the public road where any pedestrian walkway or greenbelt provides access to school property (through a gate or driveway). Distances are measured using CISD’s school bus routing software and/or Montgomery County Appraisal District (MCAD) maps.

Expect delays and routes to not run like clockwork for the first couple of days. There are many reasons for this including heavier traffic, drivers learning new routes, students learning new procedures and routines for loading and unloading buses. Rest assured, the safety and well-being of your children is always our number one concern.

Please note that route adjustments are made during the first few weeks of school and continue throughout the year due to changes in ridership. We ask for your patience and understanding. Registering your child for transportation early helps minimize these changes.

Students with disabilities who are eligible according to their Individual Education Plan (IEP) will receive special transportation. Please contact your child’s campus to request special transportation services.
