All kindergarten students are invited even if they are not scheduled to ride a bus to/from school. This event is designed to have kindergarten students experience the bus and understand bus rules and expectations for going to school and on field trips. Each student will receive a free snack and get a chance to eat in the cafeteria to get familiar with the space. A parent or guardian must be present with the student. This event is for the kindergarten student and parent only.
