Back to School Traffic Safety

School starts for NISD students tomorrow. Be on the lookout for the several buses that will arrive in the neighborhood beginning at about 6:50 through 8:15 for morning pick-ups and then from about 3:10 to 4:45 for afternoon drop-offs.

School bus traffic laws and safety reminders, courtesy of Texas A&M:

  • Watch out for young pedestrians
  • Slow down where children congregate at bus stops
  • Be alert for late-arriving children
  • Stop when school bus stop sign is extended and flashing lights are activated
  • Do not proceed until the bus resumes motion, the bus driver signals to proceed, or visual signals are no longer actuated

See NISD's Buses and Boundaries Information System to determine when buses will be on your block.
