Welcome, class of 2039! Our elementary schools were filled with smiles as our kindergarten students officially began their CPSD journey! 🚌🎒🍏
Our newest learners spent their first day meeting classmates, exploring their classrooms and learning routines that help create safe, welcoming spaces where everyone belongs. From story time to hands-on activities, the day was full of discovery, connection and fun.
We can't wait to see all the learning, growth and memories you'll make this school year.

Today is the first day of school! Thousands of CPSD students ride buses to and from school each day. Be looking for the flashing lights of school buses, watch out for students who are walking or waiting at bus stops and go slow in school zones. Here is a great visual on when to stop for school bus lights.

School buses are back on Washington roads! And that means it's time for a refresher on when to stop. 🚌🛑

During a single day in 2026, Washington school bus drivers reported 960 illegal passes. If that pace continued across the 180-day school year, it would amount to more than 172,000 violations.

With nearly 341,000 Washington students riding the bus each day, knowing the rules matters.

🛑Flashing red lights or stop arm out? STOP.
🛑On a two-lane road, traffic in both directions must stop.
🛑On roads with three or more marked lanes, drivers traveling in the opposite direction generally do not have to stop, but drivers traveling in the same direction as the bus always do.

Illegally passing a stopped school bus carries a mandatory $500 fine.

When in doubt, stop!
