-
My student lives with me 3 days a week and my ex-spouse 2 days a week. This will require my student to have fluctuating schedules, is this allowed?
Students will not be permitted to have "fluctuating schedules". This means that students will not be permitted to have certain days of the week on which to pick-up or drop-off at one location, and then another location the rest of the week. Fluctuating schedules introduce too much of a risk for safety to the student.
-
How can I determine my student(s) bus stop location(s) and arrival time(s)?
By accessing the Judson ISD Boundaries and Buses Information System on the Internet. While there, you may search for the current school assignment, bus route information, and any future Board adopted boundary changes by entering the student's street number and street name, and following the prompts.
