[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this is the third story this week for PG schools. I get that their is a lot of chaos with dismissal, but why can't there institute some sort of tracking system? Like every bus is a different letter, with the letter displayed on the window. And each stop is numbered. Every bus rider wears the letter/number around their neck at dismissal. Then the bus driver checks the letter when they get on and the number when they get off at the stop.[/quote]

I think this depends on the school. At our school, we were told that the little kids needed to wear their name and bus route pinned to their shirt for the first week. The county school system actually sent home a postcard (along with the bus stop info for AM and PM for the parents to fill out) that the kids could wear. [/quote]

PS - a parent also suggested that kids who aren't riding the bus have that on the card. A similar situation as the PP mentioned. Her child was supposed to be picked up, and the teacher basically forced the little girl to get on the bus. So the first day of school, I put that my son would be picked up.[/quote]

Yes. A substitute teacher let my child go and a staffer out front told her yo get on the bus. Plus, when there was no one to meet her at the stop, she was supposed to be returned yo school, per school policy. Never happened. I spoke with my child to make sure she knew my expectations, especially since the school, teacher and aftercare were playing the blame game. [/quote]
