• A parent with PK to 2nd grade child must wait for his/her child at the bus stop in the afternoon (including After-school buses). If no parent is waiting at a stop in the afternoon, the bus will wait for the parent for one minute to follow the bus schedule. In this case, the student can be picked up at the last stop of the bus route or at the waiting area at KIS.
• A parent with PK to 2nd grade child should inform the bus monitor, bus coordinator, or school secretary if their child is not planning to take school bus home. It is important as a school bus cannot depart before all bus riders are counted.
• Guardian/Parent, whose child needs to get on a different bus, should submit ‘Bus Transfer Form’ before noon each day. (Please use the Google form on the KIS web site). The request may be rejected due to the availability of the seats in a bus and priorities will be given to the below student:
  • 1st: A student with regular-basis transfer history
  • 2nd: A student who is requesting the transfer one-time
  • 3rd: A student who did not ride on the requested bus after transfer request
