Jarrell ISD Transportation

Hello Parents,

If your student rides the bus, please make sure you’re signed up for the Stopfinder App. This is the primary way the Transportation Department communicates important updates, including late buses, route changes, and other timely notifications. With Stopfinder, you can:

Track your child’s bus in real time
View your student’s route schedule
Set up GeoAlerts to know when the bus is approaching your stop
And much more to help make each ride safe and efficient
As we prepare for transportation updates in the new year, we want to ensure every family has the tools they need for a smooth experience.

If you have questions or need help accessing Stopfinder, please email us at [email protected].

Thank you!

Jarrell ISD board of trustees recognized the importance of bus drivers and monitors and approved for a raise for transportation!

📢Jarrell ISD is proud to announce a base pay increase for its school bus drivers and monitors, reflecting the district's commitment to supporting staff who play a vital role in student success.

The base pay for bus drivers is now $22.00 per hour, and for bus monitors it's $16.00 per hour. It's a $1.00 per-hour increase. Raising the hourly wage ensures Jarrell ISD remains competitive in attracting and retaining qualified drivers.

We provided our drivers and monitors with lunch from Love At First Bite after they trained on Jarrell ISD protocol for evacuating a school bus.

Thank you, Denay for the amazing lunch!

Transportation had a training exercise this morning. Making sure our drivers and monitors are ready in case they ever need to evacuate their buses.

Bus evacuation practice is necessary to ensure our drivers and monitors know the protocols needed to safely and efficiently evacuate your students in the case of an emergency and/or accident.

Hello Parents!

This year, with Transportation's new student system, comes a new way that Transportation is releasing Pre-K to First Grade students to parents/guardians or siblings.

Transportation will be using the car rider number you received from Meet the Teacher night to release those PreK to First Grade students. You can either show the driver the car rider tag, a picture of the tag, or verbally say the code to the driver. All the drivers will have access to the code through their driver app.
Siblings (2nd grade and higher) can do the same, either have a picture or verbally tell the driver.

Thank you for working with Transportation to make our students safe!
