Choice School Transportation Options

Parents of students who attend choice schools are responsible for transporting their child to the school. The Lake Washington School District offers some shuttle-bus service for students attending a choice school which is outside of their neighborhood.  Parents can apply for the Renaissance Shuttle in August. There is a nominal fee payable to the district Transportation office.

Choice schools release students early on Wednesdays to make time for teacher planning, conferencing, and district meetings. Renaissance students are released at 12:30am and are expected to be off campus by 1:00 (unless they are working with the Honor Society adviser or other after school program). All Renaissance School parents are responsible for their child’s transportation on Wednesdays (unless they have signed up for the shuttle) since the neighborhood bus does not run on the same schedule as Renaissance School on Wednesday afternoons.

Many families choose to carpool with other Renaissance School students and some students take advantage of the Metro bus system for transportation.Please look at the map in the Renaissance office to see what other families may live near you for carpooling options.

School Bus Information

Renaissance students can ride the Eastlake High School buses. However, times may differ between the two schools on certain dates and the buses follow Eastlake's schedule, so parents need to be prepared for alternate transporation on those days.
