Same school but Kinder gets out 5 minutes earlier. Kindergartners are escorted to their buses the whole year. 1st-5th get out of class and get to find their own way
EDIT: They were at different schools last year

Hey Rich! My daughter (Kindergartner) was put on the wrong bus due to her appearing on 2 route lists. When my son (2nd Grade) got on the right bus and noticed she was missing, he went looking on the other bus, found her and stayed with her. Was a lil drama but the bus drivers managed to communicate and they were a half mile away, safe on the other bus.

This happens more often than you would think ... especially the first few days of school. We have tags that are color coordinated to specific buses. This helps, but it's still up to the driver to inspect the tags as the little ones board. Nothing worse than getting to a stop and a parent is standing there waiting for their child and he/she is not on the bus. Some freak out and others just say "Bring 'em home when you find them" ... We'll do an "All Call" and each bus must stop, check for the student and reply back to base.

For some reason both my kids were listed to be on both routes, which are next to each other, so they were allowed to get on the wrong bus. Their bus badges/passes are not color coded and the scanner on the buses only checks that if a badge is scanned getting on it should have a scan for getting off....something like that, I was a bit excited and may have understood. Sounds way too simplistic but then I don't want my kids to have a chip like a dog...no offense to dog owners
