Beginning Thursday, January 21, 2010 the first bus will leave Bancroft at 3:45 (instead of 3:40 pm). This bus will carry grades Pre-5 students.
The second bus will leave at 3:50 (as usual) and will carry grades 6-12.
The reason for the change is to even out the number of students riding each bus. Some elementary students have been waiting to ride the second bus with older brothers and sisters and the second bus is sometimes to capacity with only a few students are the first bus.
Leaving 5 minutes later will keep the arrival times of the buses within 5 minutes of each other and will require younger students a short amount of time to wait for older siblings on the second bus.
