Requests cannot be taken over the phone or by email.

• Date pass is to be effective

• Address where your student is disembarking the bus (established stop) - please visit the NSD transportation website to determine the established stop.

If approved, a blue bus pass will be issued to the student by the Main Office that the student must hand to the driver when boarding the bus.

Activity Bus Passes

Updated Activity Bus Route information for the 2022-23 school year coming soon!

For the 2022-23 school year, NSD will be providing after school Activity Buses from Woodinville High School on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Buses will depart from WHS between 4:15-4:25 p.m.

• Students need to come into the Main Office before school, during Options, or during lunches to get an Activity Bus Pass each day they need to ride the activity bus with a parent / guardian signed note that includes the Activity Route Bus stop.

Requests cannot be taken over the phone.

Activity Bus passes are issued on a first-come, first-served basis due to the limited number of seats. The note must include:

• Date (open dated passes are not allowed)
• First and last name of the student
• Their designated activity bus stop number.
• The reason the student needs to ride the activity bus (academics or activity)

If approved, an NSD Activity Bus Pass will be issued to the student by the Main Office that the student must then hand to the driver when boarding the activity bus. 

• This service is to assist families with after school transportation when students stay after school for activities (sports, clubs, detention, etc).
• The activity routes do not have the same bus stop locations as the regular routes. One, two or three bus routes cover the same area in the evening that a dozen bus routes regularly cover in the AM/PM. 
• Bus stops are limited to ensure all students are transported home in a timely manner and the cost to the schools are minimal. 
• It is the parents' responsibility to select the stop closest to their residence and familiarize their child with this information in the event he/she needs to utilize after school transportation. 

If you have any questions about activity buses, please contact the Transportation Department.

• Activity Buses are available for high school students who participate in supervised after school activities such as sports, clubs, detention, etc.
• The Activity Bus will depart WHS at 4:15-4:25 pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays throughout the school year.
• The one Activity Bus covers the entire service area (normally covered by 12-15 afternoon buses). They are longer routes with centrally located stops. Students are expected to walk home from the stop or be met by a parent.
• Stop times vary depending on the number of students riding, traffic, and weather. Parents/guardians should plan to be at the drop-off stop at 4:30 p.m. the first few times if they plan to meet their student. After a few days of riding, they will have a more accurate stop time.
• Students must obtain an Activity Bus Pass EACH DAY they ride from the teacher/supervisor/coach of the after-school activity. The pass must be filled out completely, including the bus stop location and handed to the driver prior to departure.
• Parents are encouraged to review the map and example Activity Bus Passes with stops listed (All posted on the high school websites) and work with your student to decide which bus stop to get off at. (Maps include landmarks and development names). It is very helpful for your student to know their address.
