Dear Galveston ISD Families:
Welcome back to the 2018-2019 school year! This message is specifically designed for families who have not registered their children under the current Transportation Guidelines. School starts on Monday, August 27, 2018. If you requested transportation services for your child and received a call from the bus driver of the route that your child has been placed on, then your child will be transported on the first day of school. However, if you failed to complete the paperwork for transportation and registered after August 21st your child will not be transported on Monday, August 27th and possibly through Tuesday, August 28th. The Transportation Department will be working for the next three days to accommodate as many students as possible. Beginning Monday afternoon when your child’s registration has been confirmed, and assigned to a route, you will receive a phone call from your child’s bus driver.

The Galveston Independent School District provides school bus transportation for eligible students to their schools of choice. We attempt to place every bus stop at a location with reasonable safety assurance for students. The District prepares well trained, qualified drivers who are committed to following policies and procedures, so that we may provide safe service to all of our students.

Galveston ISD is a Schools of Choice District 

The mission of the Galveston Independent School District Transportation Department is to provide safe, reliable, and economical transportation for the students and parents of Galveston. The District prepares well trained qualified drivers who are committed to providing safe, friendly service to our students.
