We have a couple of minor issues that can become big areas of concern for the school. These items are linked to time and supervision. Before eight o'clock in the morning there is no coverage for your children at school. If children are dropped off before eight they are unattended and it is not safe for them. The other problem is dropping children off early at bus stops.
Bus stops are another subject that generate discussion with the principal.
Dropping the kids off a few minutes early for the bus stop makes sense because bus driving and bus stop times vary. A few minutes early is sensible, but fifteen minutes or more, is asking for trouble. Even though most of our bus stops are rural, many are located on busy roads with fast moving traffic. The safety problem and many other problems can be greatly reduced if your children are not at the bus stop for long periods of time. As a school we are aware of the underlying problem is the need for reliable daycare and activities for children before and after school.
