[quote=Anonymous]When my older daughter started K we were occasionally late to the bus stop (we have a lot of different family members doing pick up and I think each was late once in the first semester).  The bus driver didn’t let her off, and would come back to our stop at the end of the route to see if we were there before taking her back to school.  We have an awesome bus driver.  But I also have a timid, rule-abiding kid who wouldn’t get off the bus if she didn’t see her person there at the stop.  The one day I knew I wouldn’t make it and couldn’t reach a neighbor I called the school and had my kid released as a walker to a different friend I was able to reach by phone.  Our office is really responsive, and I think the school is good at making sure the kids get on the right bus and/or do aftercare if that’s what they’re supposed to do.  We have different schedules different days of the week and haven’t ever had a kid get on the bus when they should be going to aftercare.  That’s the scariest scenario for me because they’d end up at home with no one there and both parents an hour away at work.  Maybe we should give them keys just in case something like that happened.  At least then they could get in the house and call us.[/quote]
