Police say 36 children from the Conway School District were on board when the bus rolled over, but none of the children were seriously injured.
Conway School Principal Deenie Berry says parents went to the accident scene to collect their children. They ranged in age from 5 to 14.
Investigators say it appears the 41-year-old female bus driver turned the bus into a five-foot ditch on the side of the road causing it to roll over. It was apparently the driver's second day on the job.
The accident occurred at the intersection of Nelson and Burkland Road near Mount Vernon.
The intersection where the accident occurred is on a rural road not far from the town of Conway, just south of Mount Vernon.
The Skagit County sheriff's office will be investigating the crash.
