Need a Ride?
Clear Creek ISD offers bus transportation to students who live more than 2 miles from
their school or for walking routes that are hazardous. Starting in August, you can
find your bus routes by clicking here!

Communication
The school district, campus, and teachers utilize technology tools to give parents
immediate access to their child’s academic progress as well as to keep families
informed in the event of an emergency.

Parents can now select the mode of communication they
want for specific school-related topics. For example, you
may want a text sent to you if your child is absent from
school, or you may want general messages emailed to you
versus receiving a phone call at home. Click here to see
instructions on how to customize your school-to-home
communications.
Text Messaging
CCISD has a service called Skylert. This system updates every night to ensure any
changes to student contact information is current. Skylert allows us to email, phone
and text parents/guardians in the event of an emergency. We will not use text
messaging for general outreach messages. To change your contact preferences,
log into Skyward Family Access and click on the Skylert tab on the left.

NEW! Beginning this school year, parents will have the option to include their student’s
phone number when completing the back-to-school forms. Students can then opt-in
to receive text messages in an emergency situation that pertains to their campus.

Q. How do I receive text messages?
A. At the time of enrollment, parents and guardians should receive an introductory
text message prompting you to opt-in to receive messages. It may take up to 24
hours upon enrollment to receive the text message. If you do not receive the initial
text message, you can subscribe to text messages at any time by sending a text
which says “Y” or “Yes” or “Opt-in” or “Subscribe” to 68453. The cell phone
number must be on record with your student information.
Q. How do I opt-out of receiving text messages?
A. Recipients not wishing to receive text messages to a particular number can simply text
“Stop” to 68453 at any time or opt-out online at www.schoolmessenger.com/txtmsg.
Q. From what number will these text messages originate?
A. Text messages will come from 68453. Please save this number and program it as CCISD
so you can quickly recognize this number as the official source of our messages.
