School Bus Information

KACS has their own buses using the service of Dream Team Transportation.

When determining the stop your child will use, please pick the stop on the schedule closest to your residence.

Please have your child(ren) at the bus stop at least ten minutes before the listed time for bus pickup; because of the close scheduling, the bus driver will not be able to wait for late arrivals. Also, due to afternoon rush hour traffic, please allow at least ten more minutes for drop off.

IMPORTANT REMINDER: A parent, guardian, or responsible authorized person listed with the school must meet all bus riders unless a waiver written on the bus stop designation form is signed and submitted. This form is available below and from the administrative assistant in the school lobby.

Instructions

Please make sure your child wears a name tag on the first day of school. This will help our bus drivers and aides quickly learn students’ names.

On the first day, our staff will also provide each student with a dismissal tag to pin on their book bag strap. This tag should remain on the book bag throughout the school year to help us ensure that all students are dismissed to the correct location.
