Dear Lamar Community,

Welcome back! We are so excited to kick off another incredible year of learning, growth, and connection at Lamar.

As we prepare for the first day of school on Monday, August 4, we want to share information about the bus routes for the 2025–26 school year. These changes are designed to ensure safe and efficient transportation for all students.

Please take a moment to review your child’s route and bus stop location here: www.episd.org/page/busroutes

Bus routes are subject to change, and we will keep our community updated through that page.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to our front office or the El Paso ISD Transportation Department at 915-230-2500.

We can’t wait to see our students back in the halls!
