Bus Transportation
Please be on the lookout for bus information in the mail. In these envelopes you'll find a bus tag with your child's information on it. Please attach this tag to the outside of your child's backpack like JiJi. Attach the tag whether your child rides the bus or not. This will help staff identify students when they arrive at school.  Please make sure to complete the blue form and return it with your child on their first day. Bus routes will be coming out soon! Each grade level was given a different color bus tag: Kindergarten is yellow1st grade is blue and 2nd grade is red. If your child is attending preschool or PreK, transportation tags will be given out at orientation. 

KCCS AM/PM Parent Drop Off and Pick Up Procedures
The morning and afternoon drop off/pick up procedures are extremely important to follow. The safety of our students, staff and families is of utmost importance. When entering KCC, please drive slowly and be attentive to the road. Please stay off your cell phone. There will be a staff member (usually Mr. Prehna) directing traffic. Follow all directions from him as this will allow traffic to move smoothly. When dropping students off either at the front of the school or at the side, parents/guardians must follow all staff directions. Many families will be dropping off so your patience in this process is crucial and being efficient will make things move smoothly. This process is for all students being dropped off by parents/guardians at KCCS. At no point may vehicles pass other vehicles while approaching the building or when leaving. Please review the following maps and information.
