School District

Kindergarten Program

District kindergarten programs are full-day programs. Transportation is provided in the morning and afternoon.

My child is starting kindergarten; will the bus pick my child up in front of the house?
There are no special laws or requirements for transporting students enrolled in kindergarten.

Am I required to be at my kindergartener’s assigned bus stop for discharge?
Yes, if no adult is present the bus driver may return the student to the child’s school and the parents will be contacted to pick up their child.

If am required to be at my kindergartener’s assigned bus stop for discharge, what if I am late or unable to be at the stop at the designated time?
The bus driver is not permitted to discharge kindergarten students unless an adult is at the stop to receive the student. If no adult is present, the bus driver may return the student to the child’s school and the parents will be contacted to pick up their child. Habitual lateness may result in loss of transportation service.
