Transportation Information
Welcome to the Killingly Public Schools Transportation Department
-----------------------------------
Please read this page carefully for important information about School Transportation

**A Notice to Parents and Guardians**
The KPS Transportation Department processes transportation additions and changes within a 72-hour window. Please submit your request, in writing, to the main office of the school your child is attending.
This procedure is put in place to ensure that our staff has time to notify drivers of your student drop off/pickup locations, and to notify if your student requires a parent/guardian to be present at drop-off. Thank you for helping to keep our Killingly students safe.
-----------------------------------
General Guidelines for KPS Transportation
Parents or Guardians are required to be present at pick up and drop for students attending Pre-K through 3rd Grade. Students who do not have a parent present at drop off will be returned to the school in which they attend.
Students in Grades 4 through 12 will be let off the bus without a parent present unless you have specified with the transportation office otherwise.Please have your child arrive at the bus stop ten minutes prior to their pick-up time. Transportation Delays are posted daily twice daily at 5:45 AM and 1:30 PM to alert you to any issues that specific routes may be facing for that shift. If a bus route is running over ten minutes behind our staff will issue a school messenger phone call to alert you with an update on service and a delay time. All our vehicles are equipped with GPS and we are able to locate your bus at anytime.
If your student does not utilize the school bus to and from school, or if you need an alternate stop due to daycare needs we kindly ask that you contact your child's school office in writing to opt out of transportation or request an alternate stop. This helps us keep our route sheets and assigned riders accurate in the event of an emergency. This also helps us to give accurate pick up times for students who do utilize the bus.
Thank you for your help!
