All children needing bus transportation must be registered. Parents need to pick up a bus registration form at Kildala. If your child will be taking the bus, please do this as soon as possible.
On occasion, students miss the bus. When that happens, students are to come back in and report to the office. This is imperative as we want to make sure that everyone gets home safely. Often new students are partnered up with older, more experienced student bus riders until the new student feels confident. For any questions or concerns please contact Kildala Elementary at (250)632-6194.
