Hall Middle School partners with Marin Transit Authority to coordinate transportation to and from school. Bus service will begin on the first day of school and changes have been made to support transportation to Corte Madera. This change will divide up students traveling to the East and West side of Corte Madera. For students that live on the west side of Highway 101, you will now take the Route 613 bus leaving in front Hall at 3:08 pm MTThF. Students who reside on the east side of Highway 101 will take the Route 29 bus (across the street at Doherty and Larkspur Plaza Dr.) at 3:18 pm MTThF. On Wednesdays, all students will take the Route 613 bus leaving at 1:58 pm. Students should take the 613 bus in the morning as the 29 arrives too late for the start of the school day.
