There are three ways to get to and from school every day; walking, kiss & ride and bus. Please let your child's teacher know how your child will be getting to and from school each day. Our daily arrival window is 9:00-9:15am and dismissal window is 4:00-4:15pm.
Bus route information should now be available in your ParentVue account under the "Info" tab. The FCPS Office of Transportation emailed routes to parents/guardians on August 15th. Any student can use Kiss & Ride and will need a car tag to be picked up through Kiss & Ride.

New car tags will be assigned to families who utilized kiss and ride last year and all other families who wish to use kiss and ride for the 2024-25 school year should let us know so we can issue you a Kiss & Ride car tag.
Students within walking boundaries can walk to school each day. Please note that any change in transportation should be noted to the front office by 3pm the day of the change. If a student who is assigned a bus wants to walk, the parent/guardian must email Mr. Basdekis, PDBasdekis@FCPS.edu and Karen Lopez, KELopez@FCPS.edu, our Attendance Secretary, in advance.
Please note that all Kindergarteners must be met at the bus or walker door for pick-up each day. Any students not met by a parent, parent designee, or a responsible middle school or older sibling will be returned to school.
