Building for Our Students’ Future
Capital Bond - February 11, 2020
Snohomish School District is asking voters to consider a $470 million school funding measure in the February 2020 election to rebuild aging elementary schools, reduce the need for portable classrooms and make sure our school buildings continue to be a source of pride for our community. These projects will ensure our students have access to safe, quality school buildings and programs throughout our district, which serves about 9,800 students.

Bus Pass Restrictions

With the growth in our neighborhoods and our Seattle Hill family, we do have one bus route that is now full and closed to bus passes. Route 389 can no longer accept any bus passes for students to ride home with friends. If your child wants to go home with a student that rides Route 389, other pick-up arrangements will need to be made. Thank you and we apologize for any inconvenience!
