Welcome back to some and Welcome to Sunapee for others!
If you have not emailed a transportation request to bthomas@sunapeeschools.org and received a confirmation reply please do so ASAP. Your child has not been reserved a seat on the bus at this point. I will do my best to accommodate your request as soon as possible.
When reviewing bus routes, you will notice the afternoon drop off times have been removed. In an attempt to decrease the number of students rushing out the doors at the end of the day, we will be dismissing bus by bus. This will add to our originally estimated times by upwards of 5-10 minutes. We should have a good grasp on timing after a week or two of school.
It would be my recommendation for elementary school parents to plan to meet their students as early as 2:55 if they ride the first run and 3:20 if they are riding the 2nd run in the afternoons. As a reminder, students in grades k-3 cannot be left at the bus stop without the driver seeing their caregiver. If there is no one at the stop those students will be returned to SCES following their bus route and the parents will be called to pick them up from there.
I cannot thank you all enough for your patience, flexibility and support as we navigate our new world together. We are all doing our best to improve the safety and well being of our students and their families.
Elementary school dismissal plans are managed through PickUp Patrol. Changes must be submitted prior to 2:15pm each day. Access PickUp Patrol here
