Safety

The safety record of buses and drivers is outstanding in the Navarro School District. The school bus drivers undergo an extensive training program prior to getting behind the wheel of a school bus and refresher training every year. This training helps to ensure that riding a school bus is the safest way to get to school.

How to Register For Transportation Services

Navarro ISD uses the Travel Tracker Routing Parent Portal and the BusQuest App for student transportation information.

About BusQuest

BusQuest is a transportation App that allows you to have access to information about your child's transportation. You will be able to see your child's bus location once it enters the designated drop-off area range.

Bus Service

The district makes school bus transportation available to all students living two or more miles from school. This service is provided at no cost to students. Bus routes and stops will be designated annually, and any subsequent changes will be posted at the school and on the district’s website. Please be advised that we do have a small number of buses in our fleet that do not have A/C. Students are allowed and encouraged to bring a water bottle to drink and put on their bodies as they ride, and windows are to be down during the ride to help as much as possible with circulation on these buses. We are in the process of looking into options to upgrade the fleet to add more buses with A/C in the future.

For the safety of the operator of the vehicle and all passengers, students must board buses or other vehicles only at authorized stops, and drivers must unload passengers only at authorized stops.

The district has identified the following areas where hazardous conditions exist for students who live within two miles of the campus: State Hwy. 123. Students in these areas might encounter hazardous conditions when traveling to and from school independently, the district will provide transportation to these students. Please contact The Transportation Director for additional information.

For information on bus routes and stops or to designate an alternate pickup or drop-off location, you may contact The Transportation Director. [See the Student Code of Conduct for provisions regarding transportation to the DAEP.]

Students are expected to assist district staff in ensuring that buses and other district vehicles remain in good condition and that transportation is provided safely. When riding in district vehicles, including buses, students are held to behavioral standards established in this handbook and the Student Code of Conduct.
