Transportation
Routes for the 2023-2024 school year are available online this year. Use the word 'parent' as your username and password.
Please be aware that the times may vary due to student load and traffic. Students need to be at their stop 5 minutes before their stop time and should wait at least 5 minutes after, before calling Transportation or leaving the stop. Please note that some stops are separated by the LAST name; this is due to the high number of students at that stop. You will be notified of any busing changes during the coming year through paperwork sent home with your child.

School Meals
All Pasco School District (PSD) students are eligible to receive breakfast and lunch at no cost to the student for the 2022-26 school years due to recent changes made to the federally funded program called the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP). All students enrolled in PSD programs, including preschool, will be eligible.
View our Nutrition Services webpage for more details. -

If your child has a disability, they may be eligible for special education and related services.
Families with children between 3- and 21 years old are encouraged to contact Special Services at 509-543-6703 to learn whether their child qualifies for PSD’s developmental preschool program.

Mental Health Resources
Pasco School District offers mental health services through a partnership with Hazel Health. With Hazel, students can speak with a licensed therapist from school or at home. Pasco School District has made these services available so that all students have access to mental health services, without a long wait time to see a therapist.
Available Now: All students, at no cost to families
Hazel services include:
- Short-term therapy visits: Therapy sessions can help students cope with everyday issues such as anxiety, bullying, withdrawal, grief, peer and family relationships, depression, not enjoying things they used to enjoy, or simply not feeling like themselves.
- Care coordination: Family Resource Managers from Hazel work closely with families to coordinate their child’s care. If your child needs additional services outside of what Hazel can offer, Hazel will help families connect with great local providers.
- Therapists who care: Hazel therapists know how to connect with children and teens. Their multilingual team practices culturally competent care for all students.
