Greetings, Peace Bridge Community!
We hope this weekly message finds you well.
Kiss and Ride and Bus Loading Zone Updates
A reminder that the changes to our bus drop-off and pick-up locations begin tomorrow morning, March 30.
What’s changing:
- Buses will enter from Champlain Drive West and load in the side bus zone (the former Kiss and Ride area).
- Kiss and Ride will move to the driveway directly in front of the school to help reduce congestion on the street and improve student safety.
Supports in place:
- Staff members with stop signs will help manage the crosswalk and driveway entrance.
- Buses will exit in waves to help prevent traffic bottlenecks.
- Student leaders will help younger students walk safely from the new bus area to their entrances.
For families using Kiss and Ride:
- Please have students enter and exit on the right (passenger) side of the vehicle only.
- Drive slowly and watch for pedestrians and students.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we work together to keep our arrival and dismissal times safe and efficient for everyone.

Wishing a wonderful Holy Week to all members of our community who celebrate this special time in the Christian calendar. We hope your faith observances and celebrations, including Good Friday and Easter Sunday, are meaningful times of reflection, renewal, and joy in the days ahead.
For those looking forward to Easter traditions like egg hunts and a visit from the Easter Bunny, the forecast looks a little wet this week—so it may be a good time to dig out the rain boots! We hope everyone is able to enjoy some family time and perhaps even a bit of sunshine over the long weekend.
