Classes begin in Edmonds School District Wednesday

Lynnwood, WALocal News

Edmonds School District students in grades 1-12 return to class on September 3, with kindergarteners starting on September 8. The district encourages families to apply for free and reduced-priced meal benefits annually to access fee reductions. Families can find important school dates and early release schedules on the district's calendars webpage, as wall calendars will not be printed this year due to budget cuts. Bell schedules, including start and end times, are also available online. Eligible families will receive an email detailing bus routes a few days before the first day of school.

New families can check with school offices or Skyward Family Access for additional bus routing information. These preparations aim to ensure a smooth transition back to school amid ongoing budget constraints. The district's focus on communication and accessibility highlights its commitment to supporting families in the new school year.
