Please complete the transportation request form ONLY if your child is needing bus transportation for the 2023-2024 School year. Please complete a form for EACH child needing bus transportation.
* Please remember that we ask all parents and/or guardians to be at the bus stop at least 10 minutes ahead of scheduled arrival and departure time.
* Children in grades K- 5th MUST have a parent/guardian at the bus stop in the morning and in the afternoons to receive their student. If the parent/guardian is not at the bus stop the child(ren) will be taken back to the school and the parent/guardian will have to go to the school and pick them up. There are no waivers to this policy. Parents cannot provide permission to the bus company, to the bus driver, or to the school to let a K-5 student off without a parent/guardian present. Please note that riding privileges may be suspended or revoked if parents are not consistently at their scheduled stop to gather their student. Advance notice must be provided to the school and to Olympic Transportation if someone else is picking up the student at the stop in the afternoon. K-5 students are permitted to offload the bus with a sibling who is in grades 6th-8th.
* Filling out this form does not guarantee a seat on the bus. Space on the bus is limited and will be filled on a first come, first served basis. Once the bus is full, additional riders will be placed on a wait list. Seats do not roll over from year to year; this form must be filled out yearly.
*All bus stops will be at central locations or after care facilities. No door to door or home stops will be made.
*Students are not permitted to ride different buses in the morning and afternoon. Students must ride the same bus both AM and PM. If there is a special circumstance, please reach out to Olympic Transportation to discuss.
*Once the sign up period has ended, if your student gets assigned to a bus, you will receive notification from Olympic Transportation. You will also be asked to read and sign the behavior expectation policy (bus rules) as a condition of ridership.
We are really excited to be a part of the KIPP Charlotte Family and look forward to creating a strong partnership with you, your students and school admin. Let's get ready for 23-24 and beyond!
