Hello parents.  September 7 – the first day of school is just around the corner.  On the first day of school, we wanted to remind you that the possibility exists that your child’s bus may be running late.  Although they have practiced their routes, some of our bus drivers may be on routes they are unfamiliar with and might not be arriving at the times you will become accustomed to in a few days.  In addition, because so many people drive their children to school on the first day, the number of vehicles in the lots and surrounding streets also can slow the buses progress.  Please be patient – the buses are coming. 

The first day of school also is a day when many parents who might not regularly do so drive their children to school.  We understand that – and we look forward to seeing your children’s smiling faces on your Facebook pages later in the day because we know a lot of pictures will be taken.  However, if you are driving your child to school, please remember there likely will be traffic congestion and students – excited to get back to school – might not be watching vehicular traffic as closely as they should be as they run to their schools.  Please drive extremely carefully.
