Kings Park Transportation Card

Transportation Card

Each Kings Park ES family should receive in the mail a welcome letter that includes a yellow card to help teachers with your child's daily dismissal. We ask that you please fill this out and pin it to your child's backpack for the first day of school. Additional copies of the yellow cards will be available during Open House.

Bus stop and route information was shared last week with families via an FCPS email and is also available on your ParentVue accounts. For more information about bus transportation, including how to access the Bus Delay Notification System, visit the Transportation page.
