Photo Highlights of the Week
September Greetings, Thomas Families!
Hip hip hooray! Nice work, Tigers! We have become more efficient with our arrival routines! Ten of our 12 busses are arriving by 9:05 a.m. in order to enter the building right on time! Fabulous! We are working on bus routes with new and substitute drivers. Thanks for your patience.
Did you know there is a bus driver shortage? Thankfully, Dublin is blessed with a great training program, constantly searching for people who are interested in driving our most precious gifts:-) Our DCS Transportation Department is diligently preparing new drivers to take over neighborhood routes. Again, your patience is appreciated when the timing is a bit off.
Busses will wait in the morning to leave the front loop at 9:10 a.m.
Please remember if you are walking, to keep your family pets at the park or in your vehicle. We have many allergies as well as fears of animals. Many of us adore our dogs, cats, and other furry besties. We need, though, to respect others who have a different perspective or need. Thank you for your cooperation:-)
-Vehicles stay in a single file line (do not pull around each other).
-Have your child exit the car by the door closest to the sidewalk.
-Students walk straight to the sidewalk from the car.
-All other family members stay in the car.
-Say your good-byes and share hugs and kisses before you pull up to the side in order to be ready for your child to exit the car at your turn.
Thank you for a terrific and safe start!
:-) Mrs. Axelband & Mrs Davis
