Aubrey ISD Starts Aug. 12, and You Must Register Before Your Child Can Ride

Chaparrals return Wednesday. Aubrey contracts its buses to Durham School Services, and a child cannot ride until the family has registered by phone or email.

Aubrey ISD students return to class Wednesday, Aug. 12, the first day of the 2026-27 school year. Teachers came back Aug. 4 for staff development.

Register before your child rides

Aubrey ISD contracts transportation to Durham School Services, and the district is explicit about the order of operations.

Before riding a bus, a child must be registered with transportation. That is done by emailing aflores@durhamschoolservices.com or calling 940-668-0060, option 4.

This is not the same as enrolling in school. A student can be fully enrolled and still not be on a bus roster, so families who have not made that call or sent that email should do it before Wednesday.

Finding the bus

Once registered, student bus information is looked up through the district's online bus search, hosted by the transportation contractor and linked from the Aubrey ISD transportation page.

The district also links a feedback form for transportation, which is the route for reporting a problem with a stop, a route or a driver.

The rest of the year

The board approved this calendar in February, after surveying families and staff. A few dates worth putting on the fridge now:

  • Thanksgiving break: Nov. 23-27, 2026
  • Winter break: Dec. 21, 2026 to Jan. 1, 2027
  • Spring break: March 8-12, 2027
  • Last day of school: Thursday, May 27, 2027

The district set the first day as the second Wednesday in August.
