Transportation Changes

Changes in your child’s transportation arrangements must be submitted to the office in WRITING by FAX at 281-878-0326. All changes must be made by 3:00 p.m.

Bus Riders

On the 1st day of school, students are asked to be at their bus stop by 7:15 a.m. After the first few days, when bus routes are firmly established, students may be able to arrive at their bus stop at later times. During the 1st week of school, students often arrive home a little later than usual due to added students on the route, new bus routes, and new bus drivers. PLEASE DO NOT BECOME ALARMED. If your address has changed since last school year, it is necessary for you to come to Garcia Middle and provide us with proof of residence… a current utility bill in order to make the address change. Your telephone bill WILL NOT be accepted.

Car Riders

Students who are transported by car will be at their designated area of the school each day and Garcia staff members will remain at that duty spot. Please do not make any changes in mode of transportation after 3:00 p.m. Parents be prepared to show identification at the time of pickup. During the 1st week of school, car rider dismissal is rather slow because of many new students and parents who are not familiar with the routine.

PLEASE BE PATIENT WITH THE STAFF! PARENTS MUST REMAIN IN THEIR VEHICLE DURING CAR RIDER DISMISSAL; YOUR CHILD WILL BE ESCORTED TO YOUR VEHICLE.

After the first week of school, car rider dismissal will go much faster.

Registration Cards & Student Release Cards

Student Registration Cards and Student Release Cards will be sent home with all students on the 1st day of school. Completing & sending these cards back is very important! The Student Release Cards will allow you to designate other individuals to pick up your child from school. Students will not be released to individuals who are not listed on the card.
