Bus Information:
St. Albans City School for a short period of time did not have a bus company working with us for the upcoming school year. Terricel Transit has stepped up and will be the company that will work with us this year. What does that mean for your child? We are so pleased to let you know that our bus drivers have chosen to join the new company. Dave, Stephanie, Cheryl, Pam and Tina who know our children will continue to make sure that our students are brought to and from school safely.
To make this transition, we have made a few changes to our bus schedules. First, we are running 5 buses instead of 7. This will save money for our community, and with our new design, offer a better solution for our school. Each bus will run 3 schedules, The A Run supports a 7:45-2:45 day, The B Run supports an 8:15-3:15 day and the PreK/K Run supports an 8:30 - 2:15 day. The biggest benefit will be a much shorter bus run for our youngest students since all bus drivers will pick up our PreK and Kindergarten students. We will also have an extra adult on each bus for the Prek/K run to make sure that their safety is of high priority and the adjustment to school is as positive as it can be, with a very clear instructional component.
Our A and B session is based on where people live within the City limits. Due to population adjustments we have had to tweak this defining line. Families that will be affected have students in grades 1-8 and will receive a phone call with a follow up letter. For more information contact Helene Biggie 527-0565 x1101
