Carpool Information

Arrival: 7:10 AM - 7:50 PM
Dismissal: 2:15 PM - 2:45 PM
King Springs Elementary School encourages parents to allow their children to ride the bus to and from school. School bus service is available for students who are not within walking distance. Students are never tardy when they ride the bus. CCSD also uses the Here Comes the Bus website and phone app to allow parents to keep track of the bus. The school bus is a safe and reliable option for all KSE families.
KSE Carpool Basics:
- The KSE Carpool line starts as two lanes, one-way, and merges down to one lane. It winds through the parking lot with the help of large metal parking lot barriers.
- Passing is not allowed at any time.
- Vehicles in the right lane should stay to the far right; vehicles in the left should stay to the far left. This allows space for emergency vehicle access.
- Students are not to be dropped off in the middle of the parking lot and walk through the parking lot to the school. Carpool privileges will be revoked, and the authorities will be notified of this poor decision.
Morning Car Riders/Arrival:
- Carpool opens at 7:10 AM. Administration supervises this. Student supervision is not available at KSE before 7:10 AM.
- Have the student prepared to exit the vehicle when it comes to a complete stop in front of a numbered cone. Staff will be on-site for the first few weeks of school to assist with car doors. Everybody else in the vehicle who is not the student must remain in the vehicle and be ready to exit the campus.
- Student Breakfast: Students who will be eating breakfast at KSE need to be in the cafeteria no later than 7:30 AM.
- Tardy Bell rings at 7:50 AM. Students still outside of the school at 7:50 AM or later will need to be signed in by a parent or guardian in the front office. Announcements and roll call begin promptly at 7:50 AM.
Afternoon Car Riders/Dismissal:
- Dismissal System/GoSafe: GoSafe is a student dismissal application designed to streamline the dismissal process while providing an added layer of security.
- GoSafe is used in two ways.
- First, it is an electronic way for parents to communicate dismissal defaults and daily dismissal changes. Physical notes, emails, texts, phone calls, CTLS messages are not accepted for dismissal changes.
- GoSafe allows for electronic scanning and dismissal of students by individual student barcodes.
- GoSafe is accessed by the Enrolling Adult from ParentVUE on a mobile device or through the ParentVUE website on a computer.
- How to Use the Electronic Dismissal System:
- The Enrolling Adult logs into ParentVUE to set a child's transportation default. This is required for each student.
- Download the student's barcode onto the phone or print the barcode. ONE BARCODE PER CHILD. Multiple students? Download or print multiple barcodes. The Enrolling Adult is welcome to share this barcode with trusted friends and family.
- The adult picking up the child will arrive in their vehicle and get in line behind the other vehicles in the parking lot. The driver will make sure that the student's barcode is ready to be scanned (either the downloaded version on the phone or the printed copy).
- The driver will show the barcode to the Scanner and then follow further instructions on when to pull forward to the student pick-up area.
- The student will get into the car on the passenger/curb side of the vehicle. Continue to follow staff instructions while exiting campus.
- No barcode? Park and bring your photo ID into the Front Office. The Front Office will be able to assist once the carpool has ended. Photo IDs will not be checked in the carpool line.
Afternoon Dismissal is the most dangerous time of the day as 1,100+ students move safely from the school to a variety of locations.
Transportation Changes will only be accepted through GoSafe. Notes, emails, phone calls, voice messages, texts, CTLS messages, etc., will not be accepted. All dismissal changes need to be completed in GoSafe by 1:40 PM.
