Monte Alto ISD

As the first day of school approaches, Monte Alto Transportation Department wants to remind our community about school bus safety.

When a school bus stops and extends its stop sign, ALL drivers must stop, whether you’re behind the bus or coming from the opposite direction (unless you’re on a divided highway). This allows our students to safely get on or off the bus.
✅ Slow down in school zones.
✅ Stay alert for children crossing the street.
✅ Never pass a bus with flashing red lights.

Mr. Rana, Superintendent of Schools, stopped by to speak with the Monte Alto Blue Devil Football Team, delivering words of encouragement and motivation as they gear up for the season. His message was clear, play with heart, work together, and represent our community with pride.
Let’s go, Blue Devils! Here’s to an incredible year on and off the field!

Monte Alto ISD families, as we get ready to welcome students back, please be sure to review our updated bus routes and pick-up times for the new school year!
Making sure your child is ready and waiting at their designated stop a few minutes early helps keep everyone safe and on schedule. Let’s work together to ensure a smooth and timely start to each school day!
If you need further clarification on bus routes please contact the Monte Alto Transportation Department at (956) 567-3111.
