Thank you to the Hawk PTO for selling snacks. We weren't able to have the STEAM Bus, we welcomed the Book Bus instead. The Library was able to surpass its sales goal with over $4,100 in total sales.

Our Hawk PTO has been doing awesome things around campus! They can achieve even more with the support of caring parents like yourself. An act as small as selling concessions at a game goes a long way in helping our Hawks.

This is the district newsletter shared with parents and families to inform and provide resources and times on social emotional learning, mental health awareness, and education! Check out all the awesome resources they have to offer!

Beginning with the 2024-2025 school year, Alvin ISD will be using the Stopfinder app for students who utilize Alvin ISD transportation to and from school. The app allows parents and guardians to track their child’s school bus in real-time.

The app is secured and protected and also serves as a two-way communication tool, allowing parents to quickly and easily communicate with district transportation officials and receive real-time notifications. Notifications can be focused on specific users based on their child’s bus route. For example, if a road is closed, causing a bus to be late picking up or dropping off children, only parents and guardians of students on those specific routes will be notified.

The Alvin ISD Transportation Department will send invites 2 weeks prior to the start of school to family members of students who ride the bus to and from school.

The app can be downloaded from the App Store and Google Play Store.

For more information on how Stopfinder works, take a look at this brief 30-second informational video. More information on Stopfinder is also available on their website.

If you are an eligible bus rider that is either new or has had a change of address, please reach out to your child's campus and ask the registrar to input a request for transportation for your student. These items should be completed no later than August 1st. Once the “verification” has been completed, the registrar will assist with ensuring your child is registered for bus transportation. If your child will be a bus rider, you will receive the route information and approximate pick up times through your skyward account and Stopfinder. Please be looking for an e-mail from Stopfinder in order to monitor your child's bus service information in late July or early August. Also, please monitor your student’s skyward account for transportation information as well. If you have any questions, please call 281-245-3101.
