Welcome to the Kenneth C. Coombs School
We are excited to welcome back returning and new students to our building. The first day of school is an important moment in children and families lives. We have been preparing the school all summer to make sure it is as smooth as possible. The first day of school for grades 1st and 2nd is Wednesday, August 28th. The first day of school for PreK and Kindergarten is Thursday, August 29th.

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 yellow, 1st grade is blue and 2nd grade is red. If your child is attending preschool or PreK, transportation tags will be given out at orientation.
*** Afternoon Bus Drop Off Parent Responsibilities***
Parents/guardians of KCCS students must be present at the bus stop unless a sibling that is in 6th grade or higher or an approved adult can receive a student. If nobody is there, your KCCS student will be brought back to school where you will need to pick them up.
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.
Please note! Families who are picking up their children who are in Grades K, 1, or 2, please do not arrive before 3:15 PM. Pre-K dismissal is at 2:45 PM this school year, and we will need to allow Pre-K families time to load their children and exit in a timely manner.
