Greetings Cohasset Families,

Sadly, as a nation, we are dealing with another traumatic event with the recent racially motivated shootings in a Buffalo supermarket. Devasting events such as this carry with them media coverage that expose children to images and reports that are troubling, and which lead children to ask questions of the adults whom they trust. Here is an article from the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), which offers advice regarding how we can talk to children about events such as this.

• Bus 3 students should please be at their bus stops 10 minutes earlier than usual.
• Bus 3 will pick up elementary bus 5 students about 15 minutes late arriving to school by 9:15AM.

AFTERNOON TRIPS:

• Bus 4 will drop off CMHS bus 5 &6 students.
• Bus 8 will pick up Bus 8 students from the elementary schools at 3:15 pm, so bus drop off at home may be a few minutes earlier than usual.
• Bus 8 will then pick up Bus 5 students from the elementary schools, so drop off at home will be delayed by approximately 10 – 15 minutes.

We sincerely appreciate the continued patience. We will keep you updated as we onboard our new drivers.
