Just before the school year begins in August, the Kindergarten students will have an opportunity to practice riding the bus during a special practice route. During this practice time families will have the opportunity to see what it is like to get on and off a school bus. Parent/Guardians/Grandparents ( no siblings under 18) will be allowed to accompany the kindergartner on the bus for the practice ride. LIMIT 2 adults.
Bus route locations will be mailed home the week of August 13th.
The practice bus ride will give you and your kindergartner the experience of being picked up, riding the bus to school, and returning home. You might even meet some parents of your child's classmates. On this night your child will receive the ZPASS, which all APS students that ride the bus carry. Our ZPASS program allows you to receive text messages/emails when your child gets on and off our buses. Please have your child bring his/her backpack this night so we can attach their ZPASS. If you would like to download the free app to your phone, go to ZPASSPLUS.COM There is no charge for signing up for this service. If your not able to make the practice bus ride, please call transportation @892-3485. ZPASSES will be available for pick up on August 27th & 28th between the hours of 10am-2pm at the Transportation building located at 10775 64th Ave.
