District Provides Update on Transportation Services for the 2024-2025 School Year: Parent Action May be Required

Dear Lake Travis ISD Parents/Guardians, 

We hope this letter finds you well and that your family is enjoying a restful summer. As we continue preparing for the 2024-2025 school year, we would like to share some important information regarding student transportation services.

  • Returning Students WITH Prior Service:
    All students who received transportation services this past spring (January 2024 to May 2024) do not need to re-register for the 2024-2025 school year. Your child's ridership will be assigned according to the established routes from last year. However, if you have recently moved, you will need to update your contact information in Skyward Family Access using the "Address Change" tile. This form must be reviewed and verified by the campus registrar before any changes are accepted.
     
  • Returning Students WITHOUT Prior Service: 
    Returning students who did not utilize transportation this past spring will need to register for services for the 2024-2025 school year. The form is available in Skyward Family Access and includes a simple checkbox asking if transportation services are needed for the student (see tile below):

  • Newly Enrolled Students:
    Students new to the district who have completed enrollment in Skyward Family Access for the 2024-2025 school year and have elected for transportation services as a part of that process do not need to re-register. Please note, the form can be completed and resubmitted multiple times, so it is normal for parents to still see the Bus Registration tile in Skyward Family Access.
     
  • Route Assignments, Updates, and Activation Timelines:
    Ridership will be assigned according to the routes established in the spring of 2024. For all students who utilized transportation services this past spring and for new registrations entered by July 31, 2024, route assignments will be posted by August 7, 2024 in SMART tag and at Infofinder. Please allow three to five business days to obtain route assignments for any new registrations requested after July 31.

    If your child is absent on the first day of school, please contact your campus registrar to establish enrollment and a start date. Transportation routing will be reactivated once your child is present at school during official attendance time. Please allow three business days for this to occur.

While we strive to accommodate all registered students, transportation services will be provided based on available resources including driver availability and route capacity. At this time, we are unable to provide transportation to neighborhoods which did not receive services last year. If you have any questions regarding your registration or need further assistance, please contact our Transportation Department at 512-533-6070. Thank you for your cooperation and support as we work to provide safe and reliable transportation for our students.

Sincerely, 

Lianka Soliz
Senior Director of Food and Nutrition Services & Transportation
