Important Information
Register for Bus Service
Get your bus number, stop time and location without making a call!
MISD Transportation asks that all students riding the school bus this school term register for bus service through Track My Bus, the Edulog parent portal app. Upon registration, the app will reflect the student's designated bus number, stop times and locations.
In addition, users can keep track of bus delays and substitutions caused by weather, construction or other conditions affecting MISD buses and their routes.
Additionally, If your child rides the bus, please do not remove their bus tag from their backpack. It will need to stay on all year.
Headphones
Each student needs a set of headphones, not earbuds, to use with their Chromebooks during the day. Please label with their name. It is important that students have their own set of headphones so they are not sharing with other students.
Water Bottles
Students are also welcome to bring a flip top water bottle, labeled with their name. Students will have access to a water bottle fill up station to fill their bottles as needed.
PE
For those days your student has PE make sure your student has shoes that have a rubber sole and fit well. No crocs or flip flops.

Student Drop off and Pick up
Please follow our drop off and pick up procedures for our students' safety.
All PreK-2nd grade car riders are dropped off at the cafeteria doors in the morning. 3rd and 4th graders are dropped off at the side entrance outside of the 3rd and 4th grade hallways. Only buses, daycare vans, and walker students enter through the front door.
All PreK-2nd grade car riders AND their 3rd/4th grade siblings are picked up at the gym doors in the afternoon. All other 3rd graders are picked up at entrance outside of the 3rd and 4th grade hallways. All other 4th graders are picked up outside of 4th grade hallway.
Thank you for your cooperation!
*Changes to Walk-Up*
Parents who walk up to pick up their students after school will no longer be able to park or stand in the front parking lot. Because of congestion and the safety hazard our current procedures are causing, we have to revamp our procedures.
Parents who drive cars to walk up to pick up their students will have to park in the back parking lot and walk around to the front of the school to pick up their students at the designated pick-up locations. This will lessen the congestion in the front parking lot. The front parking lot will be closed for parking after school.
Your cooperation is greatly appreciated as we continue to better our systems for the safety of everyone.
