Possible Bus Delays: March 1-2
Yorkville CUSD 115 and its bus company, Septran, have worked diligently with county health officials to ensure that eligible bus drivers and transportation employees are able to receive the vaccine for COVID-19. These vaccinations will provide another measure of safety for the district’s school bus passengers.
More than 20 bus drivers are scheduled to receive their second vaccine shot on Sunday, February 28. Since the second shot has been known to produce flu-like symptoms, there is a possibility that it could result in a driver shortage and longer travel times, as drivers may be need to cover multiple routes. The normal protocol of sending notices to families of delays greater than 10 minutes will continue. Parents are encouraged to consider driving their child(ren) to school next week on Monday, March 1 and Tuesday, March 2 to avoid any potential delays.
Please email Director of Business Services Mike Vargas with any questions and/or concerns regarding this matter (mvargas@y115.org).
Parents, We need your help! Many students are entering class after the bell due to the amount of time morning drop-off is taking. Please ask your students to get out of the car after passing Door 23, where the yellow curb starts. It is starting to warm up, so we'd appreciate you helping our students get the most out of their educational day. In terms of parent pick-up, cars must remain in line to pick up their child. Only those who have made previous arrangements due to extenuating circumstances should be parking in the lot.
We are still looking for someone to supervise lunch and/or recess from 1:30-3:30 on Monday, Wednesdays, and Fridays. This opportunity could come with additional hours on given days as necessary. Please contact the office (630-553-5513) if you are interested, or know anyone who is.
Thank you for your cooperation as we work to continually enhance our services to our families.
Sincerely,
Michele Breyne
GRES Principal
