Transportation Reminder: SmartTag Use Required
Dear Families,
The Cle Elum-Roslyn School District Transportation Department would like to remind families of the importance of students using their SmartTag cards each time they ride the bus. SmartTags help us maintain accurate ridership records, support student safety, and improve communication with families.
We’ve noticed a few students with new cards who may not be scanning regularly. Please remind your student to scan their SmartTag when boarding and exiting the bus.
There is a $5 replacement fee after the third lost card and any additional SmartTag cards that need to be printed. Continued lack of SmartTag use may result in a temporary pause of bus privileges until the student is in compliance.
If you have questions or need a replacement card, please contact the Transportation Department at 509-852-4832.
