All McDonald students (who live in the Hamilton service area) will receive bus access service.
We'll have 2 buses assigned to McDonald (one for east of I-5 and one for west of I-5). The bus will pick kids up on corners along primary bus routes. Buses will pick up and drop off at childcare centers within the Hamilton service area, for those who are attending before or after childcare. Buses will not transport kids to before/after school activities.
All enrolled families should have already received a letter from SPS Transportation Services notifying you of your bus stop. If you have questions about-or changes to-your bus stop assignment, please email transdept@seattleschools.org or call 206-252-0900.
All teachers will walk all students to their school busses after school, all year long.
Teachers and drivers have student lists. Teachers will make sure students are on the correct bus - and the drivers double check.
Teachers will get every child on his or her school bus after school. Everyone must leave in order to catch the bus. Teachers will not be able to meet with parent right after school for this reason. Busses all have other schedules to meet - but the bus won't leave without all its students.
And the drivers will make sure students get off at their bus stops.
