by 6:00

or he rides the 907 home with Kinsley โ€” same stop, same 3:04
COLTEN ยท KALEIDOSCOPE

Pickup: the side gate by the bus loop

Don't go inside the building. Pull up, call 843-214-0900, and staff walk him out to you.

Runs until

6:00

from dismissal, Mโ€“F
Late fee

$1/min

per child, after 6:00
๐Ÿ“ž Call Kaleidoscope843-214-0900 ยท they walk him out to your car

๐Ÿฝ๏ธ They serve supper AND a snack โ€” he'll eat before he gets home.
๐Ÿชช Bring photo ID. Only people on the Procare authorized-pickup list can collect him โ€” that's a separate list from PowerSchool, so check both have Phil and anyone else you'd send.

๐Ÿšจ Someone else picking Colten up? Email Mr. Adam first.

They will only release him to a person already listed in Procare. If you need to send a grandparent, a friend, anyone โ€” email him ahead of time, don't just show up or call from the gate. Whoever comes needs a photo ID.

โœ‰๏ธ Email Mr. Adam about a pickup

KINSLEY ยท BUS HOME

Top of Olivia Marie Ln

Waterloo, front of the neighborhood โ€” same stop as Piper

Off the bus

3:04

be there by 2:58

๐ŸšŒ Route 907

AM pickup here is 6:40 โ€” not needed while you're driving.
PIPER ยท BUS HOME

Top of Olivia Marie Ln

Waterloo โ€” same stop as Kinsley, just a different bus time

Off the bus

4:09

be there by 4:03

๐ŸšŒ Route 907

AM pickup here is 7:58 โ€” her backup if a morning ever falls apart.
COLTEN ยท BUS HOME (on the days he rides)

Top of Olivia Marie Ln

Same stop, same bus, same time as Kinsley. Kaleidoscope is still the normal plan โ€” this is the afternoon he comes straight home.

Off the bus

3:04

be there by 2:54

๐ŸšŒ Route 907

He and Kinsley get off together โ€” one trip to the stop, both kids.

โš ๏ธ Tell Angel Oak which afternoon it is. Kaleidoscope is his default โ€” if nobody tells them he's riding the bus that day, he gets walked to aftercare and the bus leaves without him.

โš ๏ธ The 907 still runs off schedule. Johns Island's principal: "They are combining JoIES and AOP routes this year, so they may be off a few minutes. I would suggest being at the bus stop at least 10 minutes prior to your scheduled stop time." That's why the times above are 10 early, not the posted time.
๐Ÿ“ฑ Use the First Student app to track the bus live, and watch Class Dojo for JoIES updates.
๐Ÿฅต Send a water bottle on the bus right now. The superintendent wrote on Aug 14 that a number of the state-owned buses have broken air conditioning during an excessive heat warning. Repairs started that morning and are being done between runs. Until then drivers are keeping the windows down, and kids are specifically allowed to drink water on the bus.
โœ… No red tag needed for Kinsley or Piper. CCSD expanded the red-tag program this year, but it still only covers CD, Kindergarten and 1st grade โ€” 4th and 6th graders ride without one.
โš ๏ธ Colten probably DOES need a red tag โ€” worth one phone call. The program covers kindergarten, and he rides the 907 on his come-straight-home afternoons. This page used to say no tag was needed, but that was written when he wasn't riding at all. Not confirmed either way yet โ€” ask Angel Oak or Mrs. Reagan Price.
๐Ÿ“ž 843-559-6412 ยท Reagan_Price@charleston.k12.sc.us
Route 907 serves all three schools โ€” the number alone doesn't tell you which kid. It runs the elementary schools first, goes back out, then middle/high, which is why Kinsley and Colten are home at 3:04 and Piper isn't home until 4:09. JoIES and Angel Oak share the run this year (the principal said so above), which is exactly why the two little ones come off the same bus together.

๐Ÿš— The morning run

In order โ€” earliest bell first.

Morning drop-off order

Leave the house by 6:55 AM All three dropped by ~7:40 if nothing goes sideways.

๐Ÿ’ก If that 25 minutes gets old: Piper's bus is at 7:58 from the top of Olivia Marie Ln โ€” the same stop Kinsley uses. Put her on it and your morning ends at Angel Oak at 7:32 instead of 8:10. Week one is behind you now โ€” this is the week to try it.

Afternoon โ€” only if you need it

Normally Kinsley and Piper bus home and Colten's at Kaleidoscope. This is the order for a sick day, early pickup, or a bus that doesn't show.

Drive times are estimates off the map, no school-line traffic. Time it Tuesday and tell me the real numbers โ€” I'll lock them in.

๐Ÿ• Bell times

Confirmed against the official CCSD schedule, effective Aug 11, 2026.

โœ… Johns Island's early schedule is real. It genuinely moved from 8:30โ€“3:30 to 7:25โ€“2:25 โ€” confirmed on the school's own FAQ and the district bell schedule. Don't trust an old Google result on this.

โš ๏ธ Angel Oak has two published end times โ€” the district lists 2:45, the school handbook says dismissal runs 2:30โ€“3:00. Either way, be in the line by 2:40. Call 843-559-6412 if you want the exact minute.

โš ๏ธ Early release = 12:15, not 2:15. Johns Island's principal sent a correction on Aug 9 โ€” her first email had the normal dismissal time by mistake. Sept 4 is the first one.

๐Ÿ“ฃ Tell her teacher Kinsley is a BUS rider. The principal asked every family to confirm their child's PM transportation โ€” do it on day one so there's no confusion at dismissal.
