When and how will I learn of my child's bus schedule?

Parents of students eligible to ride the bus to and from school will receive an automated call and email with their child’s specific bus stop location and pickup and drop-off information on August 21, 2024.  

During the first few weeks of each new school year, the district’s Transportation Department works to determine where there may be bus overloads or schedule adjustments needed – based on actual student ridership. Traffic flows the first few weeks of school are typically heavier than normal, and multiple construction projects around Federal Way could also impact route timeliness. Our routers are working hard to expedite any adjustments, as safely and efficiently as possible. As the Transportation Department works to streamline routes, we appreciate your patience and understanding.  

Bus drivers are provided a list of eligible riders for each bus route to verify students are approved for ridership. We ask that all student-scholars eligible to ride the bus be at their bus stop five (5) minutes prior to the scheduled pick up time. Bus route information can also be found by logging into ParentVue and going to the "Student Info" tab.
