For 2024–25, we need all eligible bus riders – new and returning – to register for transportation to use the bus to and/or from school. Read more

Parents will receive bus stop location and times once registered. Parents can also enter their home address into Infofinder to look up their child’s bus route number, pick-up/drop-off times, and bus stop locations for the 2024–25 school year. More addresses are being added to this site each day, so be sure to check back if it’s not there at the moment.

For real-time monitoring of where and when your student loads onto and unloads off of their school bus and stay informed of a bus’ status, check out SMART Tag.

In Leander ISD, we are working to transform student's learning experiences to achieve our vision that all students will graduate with every option open. The Leander Mobile Learning Initiative (mLISD) will support the vision outlined in our Graduate Profile that "Leander ISD learners are empowered to enrich our world and excel in a rapidly changing global society.” In order to help students acheive this vision, LISD families can reserve a district owned device through the Ed Pay Portal at this time.

The Ed Pay portal is open for students to pay the non-refundable security deposit of $40.00 for middle school students. Students who qualify for Free and Reduced meals will not need to pay the annual deposit but will need to turn in a signed acceptance form or register in the EdPay portal. Hardship scholarship opportunities are available, please contact your counselor or send an email to mlisd@leanderisd.org for more information.

Click HERE to sign-up and pay the 2024-2025 mLISD security deposit and your child will receive their device during their grade level roll out.

During parent drop off/pick up times, you MUST enter from the south entrance (by VRHS) and exit through the north entrance (closest to 1431).

The back and side parking lots are designated for buses only. Please do not use the back or side parking lots to drop off or pick up students.

Please remind your students to utilize the crosswalks on and around school property. We appreciate your help in keeping our students safe by maintaining a safe speed in our school zones and parking lots and being courteous to other drivers.

During the school year, staff members are on duty each day beginning at 8:35 a.m. and ending at 4:40 p.m. Students are not let in the building before 8:35 a.m. regardless of the weather.

The city of Cedar Park has installed new traffic signals at the intersection of Vista Ridge Blvd. and Golden Arrow Ave. According to the City of Cedar Park:

• All four legs of the intersection will have signalized crosswalks with LED blank-out signs.

• These signs will illuminate to instruct drivers to either not turn on red or to stop for pedestrians, depending on the pedestrian signal status.

• Additional LED signs will restrict turns into the school driveway to buses only during drop-off and pickup times.

We ask ALL student walkers to utilize the signal lights at either HMS (Golden Arrow) or VRHS (Park Street) to cross Vista Ridge Blvd.

Please be sure to bring proper identification and present it to the receptionist each time you pick up your student. Once we have verified your identity, we will send a pass for the student to meet you at the front office.

Please note:

• This process could take up to 15 minutes or more, depending on the time of day. Please be sure to allow extra time for delays should they occur.
• We cannot have your child waiting for you in the office prior to your arrival.
• If you are checking students out at the end of the day, please arrive prior to 4:00 PM. Due to time constraints, we may not be able to get your student checked out and to the office prior to the 4:20PM bell.
