By Joshuah Albert
The Dalles, Ore., Sept. 2, 2025 — All North Wasco County School District students return to classrooms Wednesday, Sept. 3, as the 2025–26 school year begins across The Dalles.
Drivers are urged to use extra caution during morning and afternoon commutes. Expect heavier traffic near campuses with more buses, parent drop-offs and students walking and biking to school.
School speed zones will be in effect at 20 miles per hour. Officials remind drivers to watch for crossing guards, yield at marked crosswalks and stop for school buses when red lights are flashing and the stop arm is extended.
Families are encouraged to review bus routes and school start times ahead of the morning rush.
