Almost all students in Community ISD are eligible to ride the buses for free, though some zoned for NeSmith Elementary, Dodson Elementary, Ellis Elementary, Roderick Elementary, and Community Trails Middle School live within walk zones, as directed by the Texas Education Agency (TEA).

Please be aware that ALL students must have a completed Bus Rider Agreement to be eligible to ride Community ISD buses to and from school. This form must be filled out for EVERY student individually, and is done through the registration/enrollment forms on Skyward. We highly encourage you completing the Bus Rider Agreement in Skyward before July 24, 2026. This will help ensure that all students needing transportation are correctly assigned to a route for the first week of school. Bus Rider Agreements completed after July 24, 2026, may not be assigned to a route until August 10, 2026.

Once you have logged in to Skyward, if you do not see the bus rider agreement form, then you have already filled it out for this year.

NOTE: All students can ride the bus for field trips and other extracurricular activities, unless otherwise noted by campus administration or the CISD Transportation department.

Once students have registered/enrolled, schedules will be built in Skyward. When that process is complete, each campus will notify parents and set up a time to pick up schedules any make any corrections should the need arise.

Please contact your campus(es) if you have any questions regarding class schedules.

Yes, all 6th through 12th grade students are required to wear their CISD identification badges at all times, as are all CISD staff members. These badges must be visible at all times, and unobstructed by clothing. 6th-12th students who fail to bring their badge to campus will be required to pay for a replacement badge at the ID badge kiosk, or wait in the security vestibule until a parent/guardian can bring their ID badge to the campus.

ALL Community ISD students, Pre-K through 12th grade, will be required to have a badge with them to ride a bus to and from school starting in the 2026-27 school year. This badge is used by the CISD transportation department to track when students board and depart the bus, and allows parents using the My Ride K-12 app to track their students as well. More information about the My Ride K-12 app is available here.

NOTE: Bus routes are available exclusively through the My Ride K-12 app. Make sure you download it today!

This year, the State of Texas will return to the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and School Breakfast Programs (SBP) for Public Schools. To find out if you're eligible for free school meals or to submit an application, please click HERE. REMEMBER - every student MUST re-qualify every year for the meal program. If a student was on the meal program at the end of the last school year, their benefit will continue for the first 30 operating days (September 24, 2026) of the new school year.

After that time frame, if there is no application on file, the student will be charged for full paying meals.

For more information on applications for free or reduced-price meals, please contact the Child Nutrition Department at (972) 843-6080.

We are presented with an opportunity to allow our campuses to shine with their own campus-level parties, rolling their annual Meet-the-Teacher and Schedule Pickup events into one-stop-shops for those schools. You'll be able to pick up school supplies, meet your campus administrators, connect with teachers, go over 2026-27 class schedules, and so much more!

With these changes underway, we will be working with our community partners such as food banks, local churches, and cities to make sure their normal support systems are still accessible across the district. Stay tuned for more information, and put these dates on your calendar now!

Celebrate the upcoming 2026-27 athletics and fine arts season at Braves Stadium. Our annual Meet the Braves event begins at 7 pm. We'll introduce the student-athletes involved in our fall sports, as well as the members of our Community Braves Band, Community High School Dazzlin' Dames, and CHS Braves CHEER team. This is also your chance to meet all new coaches and staff involved with these programs.

All Community ISD schools have at least one armed CISD Police Officer present on campus, and our secondary schools (Edge Middle School, Community Trails Middle School, and Community High School) have several security officers patrolling the campuses and manning metal detectors at the main entrance.

Students, staff, and visitors at Edge Middle School, Community Trails Middle School, and Community High School are expected to enter through metal detectors every time they enter the building.

Students at Edge Middle School, Community Trails Middle School, and Community High School must use clear backpacks for their main bag. You can find more information about bag expectations here.

Students and staff at Edge Middle School, Community Trails Middle School, and Community High School must visibly wear their ID badges at all times. If seen without their badge on campus, they will be forced to either put the badge on, or purchase a new badge at the ID kiosk if they left their badge at home. If a parent/guardian can bring their badge to campus, students without a badge may wait in the security vestibule or campus front office until the badge is delivered to campus.
