To ensure smooth, reliable bus transportation for the 2026–2027 school year, eligible families must register their students in advance.
Northside ISD provides school bus transportation for students who live more than two miles from their assigned neighborhood campus. Students residing within the two-mile walk zone are generally not eligible unless their route includes a Board-approved Hazardous Traffic Condition.
“Registering early helps us plan routes efficiently and make sure every eligible student has a smooth start on the first day of school,” said Transportation Director Tesi Soliz. “We encourage families to complete the quick registration process as soon as it opens so we can provide the safest and most reliable service possible.”
Families can use the Buses & Boundaries System to check whether their physical address qualifies for bus transportation.
Families new to Northside ISD may register for bus service during the New Student Registration process. Currently enrolled families can sign up during the Returning Student Registration, which begins March 16. Families can learn more by visiting the NISD Buses website.
To guarantee transportation on the first day of school, all eligible students – new and returning – must register by June 30.
Bus transportation for eligible special education and magnet school students will be scheduled separately.
