2026–2027 Bus Registration

Transportation registration will reopen on Monday, August 10, 2026.

Important: Students who were not registered for transportation by July 15, 2026, will not be eligible to ride the bus on the first day of school. Transportation services will begin once registration has been completed and processed.

Address Changes

If your home address has changed, you must first update your information with your child's campus registrar so it can be entered into Skyward. Once the address has been updated in Skyward, the Transportation Department can make the necessary routing changes.

Important Transportation Guidelines

  • Transportation is provided to and from the student's home address listed in Skyward, an approved daycare facility, or a verified grandparent's address.
  • Floating schedules are not permitted. Students may have one consistent transportation location only.
  • Route information, bus stop locations, and pickup/drop-off times are subject to change as enrollment and routing needs are finalized.

Thank you for partnering with the Galveston ISD Transportation Department. We look forward to providing your student with a safe and reliable ride to and from school.
