Morning Bus Drop-Off Reminders
While waiting in the morning, students must remain under the awning or just inside the doors (inside only if the feels-like temperature is below zero). Please remind your child(ren) that they should not be playing in the snow or goofing around on the sidewalk. East Elementary staff will be present to monitor this area, and I am hoping to be able to stop by one morning each week as well if able.
Our two shuttle buses—Bus #5 and Bus #19—will transport students from East Elementary to St. Pat’s. Both buses are able to take any student.
-
Bus #19 (Driver: Dave Blacker) is the first to arrive and remains parked at East. Students may board this bus right away to wait in a warm space.
-
Some students prefer to wait for Bus #5 (Driver: John Egan) instead. This is perfectly fine, but please remind them that they will be waiting outside in the cold for 5–10 minutes until Bus #5 arrives.
During my visit last week, I noticed many students getting off the bus without coats, hats, or mittens. Please remind your child(ren) to wear appropriate winter gear when waiting outside in these colder temperatures.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.
