SMART Tag Transportation

As a part of continuing efforts to enhance the safety and security of our students, the Belton ISD Transportation department will begin the next phase of implementing the SMART Tag passenger management and communication system with select BNTH@W bus riders as early as next week. Once fully implemented across the district later this school year, SMART Tag will provide an increased level of awareness for drivers, school administrators and parents, along with other important efficiency and accuracy enhancements.

For this soft roll out, drivers will be distributing SMART Tag ID badges to bus riders along specific routes in three phases to support further testing of the technology and completion of training for bus riders, drivers, transportation staff and campus administrators.  SMART Tag ID badges will only be given to students riding the bus from their homes.  They will not be given to students riding the bus between our campus and BHS.  

For more information on the features of the SMART Tag system, including the parent app that will be a final feature of the district-wide roll out, please visit www.bisd.net/smarttag or call the Belton ISD Transportation Department at 254-215-2170.

NEW LUNCH ID SCANNER

A new check out system was installed in Mega Bites October 24th.  The new system utilizes a scanner which scans our students' IDs to access their lunch account.  Starting Monday, October 28th, students without an ID will need to get one at the MacDoc prior to going through the lunch line.  Our previous system allowed students to either scan their ID or enter their ID number to access their lunch account.  Our district's expectation is that all students wear their IDs while on Campus.  Student first ID replacement is free.  Any ID's after that will be charged a $3.00 fee .
