🚍 New Way to Find KCS Bus Changes 🚍

We’ve added a “Bus Changes” quick link at the top of the KCS website!

✅ This link will take you to a page with all AM and PM bus changes, organized by terminal.
✅ Beginning Tuesday(9/2), district-wide bus changes will ONLY be posted on this page by the KCS Transportation Department.
✅ Some schools may still share their own school-specific bus changes on Schoology, but district-wide updates will not appear on Schoology anymore.

👉 Be sure to check the “Bus Changes” link daily for the most up-to-date information.

We hope this makes it easier for families to quickly find the information you need!
