Bus Registration
Registration for the 2025-26 school year will open in early April:
- Costs and registration information is available below.
- Families will be billed at the beginning of each trimester for service during that trimester.
The rates for our Bus Program have increased for the 2025-2026 school year. The rate increases this year are due to rising fuel charges and the higher cost of leasing transportation from area bus vendors. The Pacific Northwest is an area that has one of the highest rates of bus driver compensation. SAAS must pass the costs of the service onto the families using the service. SAAS does not make money running this service. We offer and manage the morning and afternoon bus service to enable easier transportation to and from the school, as well as for environmental stewardship and traffic reduction purposes.
REGISTRATION FEES
- $580 for AM Routes per trimester
- $580 for PM Routes per trimester
- $300 for After-Activities Route per trimester
