Welcome to Salmon Bay School

Principal’s Note

The first day of school is Wednesday, September 8th.

School Hours:

Elementary: 8:30 AM - 2:40 PM

Middle School: 8:25 AM - 2:45 PM

Bus Transportation

Bus routes will be mailed to you from the Transportation Department at the end of August.  For questions about eligibility, pick-up and drop-off stops, or bus assignment call Seattle Public Schools Transportation Office at 252-0900.

Car Transportation

Cars should drop students off next to the West curb on the East side of the school on 18th Ave. NW.  Please DO NOT PARK on 18th in the white curb zone.  This is for drop-offs and pick-ups only.  During drop off and pick up we treat this street as a "One Way" street... please enter north of the school and move south.  Do not double park, or drop off your children so they have to cross over to the school in front of other cars.  When entering the white curb zone, please pull forward so that we can fit in as many cars as possible.  BUSES drop off students on 19th Ave. NW.  Please do not drop off your student on 19th Ave. NW as this creates a dangerous safety risk for students to combine car drop-offs in the same place as the bus-loading zone.

NW 65th Street is a very busy street, with many cars exceeding the speed limit.  The Seattle Police Department has strongly requested that we DO NOT USE 65th St. for drop off or pick up.

Volunteers Needed

FIRST DAY PACKETS:  We need volunteers to help put the First Day Packets together - on Wed. 9/8.  We will meet in the cafeteria at 8:30 a.m. and start stuffing envelopes and then distributing them to homerooms.  This usually takes about 2 1/2 hours.  Any amount of time that you can help is much appreciated!

DROP-OFF AREA SUPERVISION:  We are looking for two parents to help with the student drop-off area.  The drop-off location is on 18th Ave NW, along the east side of the building.  We need parent helpers on Wednesday and Thursday mornings from 7:50 - 8:20a.m.  This is an ongoing job.  A staff member will be training the volunteers.
