Transportation

SBISD provides free transportation to and from home campuses for students in prekindergarten through 12th grade. Local tax dollars support this service.

Detailed bus route information will be posted before school begins on the district’s Transportation Department website. To access this site, go to www.springbranchisd.com, then follow the link to Community Information, Transportation, and then Bus Routes. On this page, residents may type in a street address and find a bus route and estimated pick-up or drop-off times.

Families may also call or visit their neighborhood schools beginning with Back to School registration on Thursday, Aug. 16, to obtain bus information.

New students must register and have their address verified before gaining permission to ride a school bus or be placed on a school bus route.
