Locate school bus routes online
The Edmonds School District has launched a feature on its Web site that lets families type in their home address and find out which schools are their neighborhood elementary, middle and high schools.
They can also locate the nearest school bus stop and times the bus picks up and drops off students at that stop.
While bus-stop listings for the 2007-08 school year are still being updated and finalized, the Neighborhood School Finder will be the easiest way to get accurate, up-to-date information, according to a district press release.
To locate schools or find bus routes, see www.edmonds.wednet.edu and click on Neighborhood School Finder under “What’s New.”
