Kiss & Ride, Bus Loop, and End of the Day Student Pickup Important Information

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Herndon ES takes the safety and security of all of our students, staff, families, bus drivers, and other Kiss and Ride drivers very seriously.  There is a specific system in place for Kiss & Ride that we all need to follow.

  • Always wait until a staff member is present and you are at the designated area to let your child out of the car.  
  • Do not attempt to pass another car or bus, enter the bus loop, or let your child out of the car at a different location during this time. 
  • The speed bumps were installed to slow us down.  We want everyone to enter and exit safely.
  • If you choose to use Kiss & Ride, plan ahead.  It takes time and it cannot be rushed.  So, please enter with patience, follow the system, and  everyone will be safe and less frustrated.
  • Need to check your child out at the end of the day?  If you know in advance, please send in a note so that the teacher is aware. Please come to the office no later than 3:30pm.    It is very busy in the classrooms as the teachers and students are closing out the end of the day. 

         Thank you!
