Use the Final Forms website to put in all the information the school will need for your child by the first day of school.
The Transportation Dept. will need information about transportation needs long before the first day of school. So make sure to fill out the 25-26 New KDG Student Transportation Form, even if you don’t currently need a bus. This form will be active until June 24, 2025, but the sooner you get it in the more it will help us - Thank you!
Make sure the 1st parent/guardian contact that you put into Final Forms is the person that you want the Transportation Department to contact first during route times. Stopfinder invites will be sent to this contact's email.
If you have a change of address or contact information during the school year, make sure you contact the Transportation Dept. directly, and update it in Final Forms.

HELP US KEEP YOUR CHILDREN SAFE
SCHOOL BUS PROCEDURES for Pick-up's and Drop-off's
PICK-UP
Make sure your student is at their place of safety before the bus arrives with red lights on. Even if you drive your child to the stop please make sure they are out of the car standing at their place of safety.
Your child’s place of safety is where they will stand so the driver can see them and is designated by the bus driver. It is sometimes a piece of tape or a landmark. Ask your child where their place of safety is.
As the bus arrives the driver will count the students to make sure the same number get safely onto the bus.
When the driver opens the door, the driver will have their hand up in a “stop” position. After the driver checks traffic and confirms that it is clear the driver will drop their hand.
The student may approach the bus after the driver’s hand signal. If they are crossers they will go to the edge of the road and check traffic before crossing the street and should be at least 10’ out from the front of the bus.
When there is a combination stop of both left and right side. The students on the left (crossers) will approach the bus first after receiving the hand signal. Students on the right side should wait at their place of safety for the driver's hand signal before approaching the bus.
Our drivers are directed to not be early to a bus stop. But they may arrive later than the stated time for many reasons that are out of our control. Especially in inclement weather, we understand if your child is inside but please be watching for the bus and send them out of the house or car to be at their place of safety before the bus stops and has the red lights on.
DROP-OFF
Before students get off the bus they need to go to the bottom step and look both ways, not only for cars but bicycles and pedestrians.
Crossers unload first and need to walk 10 steps along the side of the roadway to the front of the bus and wait there for the driver’s hand signal.
If it is safe, they will go directly to the place of safety, stop, turn around, and remain there until the bus leaves. This is the time when the driver will count students and make sure they are safely away from the bus.
Non-crossers should go directly to their place of safety, stop, turn around, and remain there until the bus leaves. This is the time when the driver will count students and make sure they are safely away from the bus.
If the driver blows the horn, that means danger. The student needs to re-check traffic if they see nothing they should look back to the driver for further instructions.
The procedures described above are required by Ohio Law
Stopfinder Parent App: Please call the Transportation Office for an invite and check out the short video on the website to find out how to use the Stopfinder Features. Depending on your phone's refresh rate the bus may be closer than you think. We recommend setting up GeoAlerts 3 to 4 blocks away so you can be alerted when your bus is nearing your stop. This is very helpful on the days when the bus is running late. Don’t forget to turn on push notifications for Stopfinder in your phone’s settings for timely messages about your bus route.
