• This year, we will not send robocalls when bus routes are canceled. Instead, we are encouraging families to sign up for Ride 360 to receive push notifications when routes are impacted. Additionally, families may view the status of each bus route on our website at any time as it is updated daily. Finally, an email will be sent to families when a route is impacted.

  
  Unfortunately, we do not have any substitute bus drivers and will need to cancel routes when a driver is out. If you or someone you know would like to apply to become a driver please visit our website for information.
• 22-23 route information is available on Ride360. This is the best way to learn if your child's route will be impacted.
• Register for Ride360 today on the website.
• When you register you will need your student’s 7 digit Student ID number that typically begins with 2 zeros. Please access Skyward Family Access for your child’s ID number.
• Once you've registered on the site you may download the app. Traversa Ride 360™ is a mobile app for Apple® and Android® devices.
• You can expect to receive direct messages regarding changes, delays and notifications specific to your child's route and stop. You may also directly message the Eatonville School District Transportation Office.

Are you worried about your child's development?

-Does your child have a medical disorder or birth defect that interferes with their development?

-Does the child seem to have hearing or vision issues?

-Does your child have difficulty communicating with people outside the family?

-Does your child have difficulty keep up with other children their age?

-Does your child have concerning behaviors?

Any child, birth to five, whose family or caregivers would like more information about their child's development can contact the Eatonville School District to receive a FREE Child Find Screening.

What happens during a Child Find Screening?

-The purpose of a Child Find Screening is to identify issues that may affect your child's learning, growth and development and to help parents identify their child's strengths and weaknesses.

-During the screening, your child may stack small blocks, cut with scissors, draw, count, name colors, jump and have fun!

-After the screening, someone will talk with you about the results and you may be given suggestions, a referral for more testing or scheduled to have the skills rechecked at a later time. You will have the chance to ask any questions about your child's development. The whole process will take one hour.

Where can I get my child screened?

For more information and to schedule a screening in your school district, please contact:

If your family is living in a temporary situation, you may contact the district where you are currently staying for a screening.
