3. Arrive on time. Late students may not be allowed to test.

registered at their school of attendance prior to May 15th, 2015. You will receive your bus
stop information two weeks prior to the start of school via U.S. Mail. Parents who have parental
access accounts can also get routing information on the Transportation page of TUSDStats.
Parents may be responsible for transporting students who are enrolled after May 15th. Change
in residential address, alternative address, or school of attendance after May 15 th will also
result in delayed transportation routing. For any questions or additional information, please visit
