Pre-K

The first school buses of the year rolled out of the Spring ISD Transportation Center on Tuesday morning in the soft glow of dawn, their yellow doors opening wide to greet waiting students. Drivers, clipboards in hand, double-checked routes and greeted each other with quick smiles before setting off on the familiar paths that wind through the district.

Organized by the district’s Family and Community Engagement (FACE) Department, the annual Back-to-School Expo welcomed families from across the district for a morning filled with support, resources, and excitement for the new school year.

It was well before the sun had even started to rise on Wednesday morning, but the Spring ISD Transportation Department was already in full swing. Just before 5 a.m., drivers filed into the building off Richey Road before heading out to the parking lot behind to start up their buses. Mechanics stood at the ready near the shop, just in case any last minute fixes were needed.
