All buses will enter and exit from the south side of the campus (nearest the bus barn). Parents, please DO NOT USE THIS ENTRANCE. If you will be dropping off or picking up your child(ren), please use the entrance in the front of the school on the north end of the building. Once you enter the school, the traffic flow is one way to the right. Please do not drive around the numerous vehicles waiting to enter the campus or attempt to enter the campus using the exit lane. We ask for your patience as we all learn this process at the beginning of the year. Please be courteous to other drivers around you.
Please check the Buses and Boundaries page on the NISD website for more specific information on your student’s transportation to and from Straus for this coming year.
