School Starts September 5th

This means more vehicles on the road, more buses, and more people walking and biking to our schools. Please give yourself more time for traffic. Let's all slow down and watch out for other drivers and children crossing streets.

School families, think about your routes to school and talk with children about crosswalks and bus loading and unloading. Bus route times and stops can be found on Northshore School District's site here: http://bit.ly/NSDTransportation

Everyone can help set a good example and keep Kenmore’s school zones safe. Thank you for your safety efforts, and remember, 'Courtesy is Contagious in Kenmore!"
