Registration for bus transportation is completed during the school registration process. However, if you missed registering your student or need to update your bus registration, you may still access that through the Ascender Parent Portal.

• August 9: Bus registration deadline for students utilizing bus transportation the first week of school (August 16-18)
• Any registration after August 9 means your student may begin riding the bus on Monday, August 21.
• Registering your student after August 21 requires three business days before they may begin riding the bus.

On Monday, August 14, you will be able to view bus routes/times through Versatrans MyStop.

School hours will remain the same for the 2023-2024 school year:

Elementary/Early Childhood Academy (PK-5):

• 7:30 AM first bell
• 7:40 AM tardy bell
• 3:10 PM dismissal

Secondary (6-12):

• 8:30 AM first bell
• 8:40 AM tardy bell
• 4:10 PM dismissal

School supply lists for students in grades PK-8 are online at aledoisd.org/schoolsupplies.

If your student is entering grades 9-12, teachers will give a list of supplies needed during the first week of school. Sending your student with paper and a pencil/pen on the first day should suffice until you get further instructions from teachers.

Students in grades PK-5 will not be issued a Chromebook; devices will be stored in each classroom for students to use. For students in grades 6-12, we distribute devices at each campus once school starts. While students in grades 6-12 may bring their own device, we very highly recommend they check out and use a district Chromebook.

IMPORTANT: Students with outstanding device fees WILL NOT be reissued a device until their fees have been paid. Log in to your InTouch account to see if you have any outstanding fees and also to pay those outstanding fees.

Each year, all volunteers must complete a Volunteer Background Check as well as safety training on each campus where they volunteer in order to begin volunteering. Each campus will communicate times, dates and places for their volunteer safety training.

Each Aledo ISD campus serves breakfast and lunch daily in the cafeteria. AISD utilizes MySchoolBucks as a prepaid meal account for students or pay with cash/check in cafeteria.

Also, it is time to apply for free or reduced-price meals for those who qualify based on financial need or household situation. New this year: all students who qualify for reduced-price meals will receive breakfast daily for free. Apply at www.schoollunchapp.com for free and reduced-price meal benefits; you must submit an application each year.

It is important that you keep your email address and phone number(s) up to date with the district so that you receive communications from the district and from your campus. The district communicates mostly via email and text message; teachers communicate with parents via the Remind app and/or email. Once schedules and teacher assignments are released, we will add class information to Remind so that you are automatically added to the correct classes for your student(s).
