Kiss and Ride Student Drop Off

If you are driving your child to/from Cardinal Forest, you must use the Kiss and Ride loop for everyone’s safety

Kiss & Ride is located on the left side of Cardinal Forest ES when you are facing the building. The front loop of Cardinal Forest ES is for buses only. 

Your child’s booster seat should be on the passenger side of the car, if possible, so that Cardinal Forest staff can help your child exit your vehicle

At no time is it ever safe to park in the parking lot and walk your child through the parking lot traffic, or through the bus loop! Children follow the example of adults, and other children may see you doing this.

Buses

As we prepare for children to come to school and go home on buses this fall, we ask you to be aware of possible adjustments to routes and schedules. A national bus driver shortage is impacting FCPS, and some routes may be longer or occasionally delayed as we work through the situation. Cardinal Forest Elementary School will keep you informed of changes as soon as information is available. Your patience and understanding as we make adjustments is appreciated.

Please find out more about bus routes on our website and download the Here Comes the Bus mobile app.
