🚍 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!

Mrs. White, a second grade teacher at Nitro Elementary, saw an opportunity to boost her students’ confidence with topic sentences, so Mrs. Keeling, a third grade teacher at NES, said, “Let’s mix things up!” 💡✏️ They paired up the 2nd and 3rd graders to work on an opinion writing piece together… and — it was awesome! 🙌💬
The room was full of thoughtful conversations 🧠🗣️, big ideas 💭, and lots of smiles 😄. The 3rd graders did such an amazing job explaining things to their younger buddies 💛 — total role models!
We are so proud of all these young authors and the way they lifted each other up! 🥹👏 This is what teamwork, learning, and fun look like! 📸✨
