Kiss-n-Ride Procedures

Please Help Keep Our Students Safe

While we strongly recommend having your child ride the FCPS school bus, we understand on occasions you will need to drive your child to school. 

Kiss-n-Ride Sign Up Procedure

All students that will be using Kiss-n-Ride as their regular dismissal must have this set as their DEFAULT PLAN in PickUp Patrol (PUP).  Visit our PickUp Patrol page for more information.

Students who will be Kiss and Ride for morning drop off only DO NOT need a number. If you will pick up your child periodically through Kiss-n-Ride please use PUP for these daily changes.

Once you have set your students' default plan in PUP, your student will be assigned a number. Each family will receive two numbered tags and backpack tags. The numbered tag should be hung from the rear-view mirror of your car and be visible to the staff during each pickup. Kiss-n-Ride numbers are student specific, so please have your student commit their number to memory to hasten pickup at the end of the day.

The Kiss-n-Ride area is for vehicle pick-up only.

All cars dropping off or picking up students will travel through the same Kiss-n-Ride line. Parents are asked to follow the signs and directions of adults at all times in the parking lot when children are present. 

Parents who walk to pick up their children must meet their children at their designated door, not at Kiss-n-Ride.

The following Kiss-n-Ride information helps us work together to keep all children, parents, and staff safe during arrival and dismissal from school.

• Parents should remain in their car at all times.
• Load and unload in the designated Kiss-n-Ride area only.
• Load and unload from the right side of the vehicle only.
• Pull your car forward as far as possible in the lane. 
• DO NOT pass other cars in the lane.
• Always follow the directions of the adults directing traffic.
• Keep “good-byes” brief and be ready to unload quickly.

Please note that Kiss-n-Ride is a no cell phone zone.
