Kindergarten through 12th-grade students who live more than a half-mile walking distance from school can ride a bus. We may make exceptions for students who live where conditions make walking to and from school hazardous.
Eligibility and exceptions are guided by the Washington State Department of Transportation’s School Walk and Bike Routes: A Guide for Planning and Improving Walk and Bike to School Options for Students
Snow Routes
During severe weather, buses may operate on designated snow routes to ensure student safety. These routes are planned to avoid hazardous areas and help maintain reliable transportation when conditions are challenging.
