A message from Mrs. Claro

Hello GLA Families,

We are excited to welcome our young leaders back on Thursday, September 3rd. To ensure a smooth dismissal process, we kindly ask you to complete the form linked below to let us know your child’s afternoon transportation plans.

📌 Car Pickup Families:
If your child will be picked up, please complete the form and visit Gardnertown, Monday, August 31st, between 10:00–11:00 AM. Please remain in your vehicles and follow the pickup line. When you reach the area before the cafeteria doors, a staff member will come to your vehicle, check your ID, and provide you with a new pickup tag.

🚗 To help avoid delays, please stay in your vehicle during the entire process.

⚠️ Returning families: Please discard any old pickup tags to prevent confusion.

If you are unable to come during this time, a new pickup tag will be sent home with your child on the first day of school.

Thank you for your cooperation!

Hola familias,

¡Estamos emocionados de darle la bienvenida a nuestros jóvenes líderes el jueves, 3 de septiembre! Para garantizar un proceso de salida sin inconvenientes, le pedimos amablemente que complete el formulario vinculado a continuación para informarnos sobre los planes de transporte de su hijo por la tarde.

📌 Familias que recogen en carro:
Si va a recoger a su hijo, complete el formulario y visite Gardnertown lunes, 31 de Agosto, entre las 10:00–11:00 a. m. Permanezca en su vehículo y siga la línea de recogida. Cuando llegue al área frente a las puertas de la cafetería, un miembro del personal se acercará a su vehículo, verificará su identificación y le entregará una nueva etiqueta de recogida.

🚗 Para evitar retrasos, por favor permanezca en su vehículo durante todo el proceso.

⚠️ Familias que regresan: Por favor deseche las etiquetas antiguas para evitar confusión.

Si no puede venir mañana en ese horario, la nueva etiqueta de recogida será enviada a casa con su hijo el primer día de clases.

🚌

School Bus Routes are Available! (Reminder)

⚠️Reminder! The Transportation Department has relocated to our Chestnut Street building, located at 20 Chestnut Street in Newburgh.

Transportation information is now available! This information is always posted on the district website on the right-hand side of the page for general reference.

🚌School Bus Routes
Please be reminded that school bus transportation will be running off schedule in most cases for the first few weeks of school. Thank you for your patience as our students, families, school bus drivers, and school staff settle into the new routine.

⚠️Have an issue?
Please utilize this form if you have an issue with your child's transportation. Issues will be addressed in the order in which they're received. The transportation department and the bus companies are handling many phone calls and updating bus information as quickly as possible. Utilizing the form to streamline information will assist in more efficient and quicker updates.

✅Check back Frequently
Please continue to check the transportation schedule each night, as adjustments will be made regularly as we adjust to a new school year. The transportation schedule will be slightly delayed during the first few weeks of the new school year as students, families, and drivers become familiar with new bus routes and routines.

‼️Reminders for young riders
As a reminder, all students in grades PreK-2 and students receiving special transportation must be met at their bus stop by a responsible person to be released. Pre-K students who are 3 years old cannot ride the school bus until their 4th birthday.

📦Have you moved?
Have you moved? Updated your email? Changed your phone number? Be sure to update your information as soon as possible. If so, change your information by using the forms above, so your child's bus stop is accurate!
