Kingston City School District - Students Are Our Most Valuable Asset

Transportation

The staff of the Kingston City School District is responsible for safely and efficiently transporting students to and from schools and school activities. They handle the logistics of routing for each of our schools and for resolving transportation concerns.

Transportation to Non-Public Schools

Parents in the Kingston City School District whose children plan to attend non-public schools the following year must file a request for transportation form by April 1st. Transportation is provided within a 15 mile radius.

Forms are available at all non-public and private schools. A new request for transportation form must be completed every school year for each child and for each school. Parents are to return the request for transportation forms to the schools and they will be forwarded to us before April 1st.

If a parent is uncertain which non-public school his child will attend next year, they may submit more than one transportation request to ensure transportation will be considered. However, the parent needs to decide and the school district must be notified no later then May 15th to confirm which school the student will be attending in September.

Bus Safety

Please remember that students are required to be at the bus stop five minutes prior to the scheduled bus arrival times, and that students should be orderly and respectful of other riders and the property of others.

Students should observe these rules:

Keep bus clean.
Cooperate with the driver.
