Question:  My family lives within walking distance of Fred Varley P.S.  How will I manage to get my younger child to Fred Varley for an 8:00 am start and my older child (ren) on the bus for an
8:05 am start at Sam Chapman?
 
Answer:  Next year, instruction will begin at 8:00 am at Fred Varley P.S. and
supervision for our students begins at 7:45 am .  Your child that attends SCPS will be picked up at the bus stop  in the subdivision near Fred Varley P.S.  approx 7:30 - 7:40 am.  Then you will be able to walk the sibling that attends Fred Varley P.S. to school.  
 
Question: One of my children will be attending Sam Chapman P.S and the other child will be attending Fred Varley P.S.  I will need both my  children to have before and after school care.  Can I just take them to one school in the morning and pick them up at the same school afterschool?
 
Answer:  Yes, you can drop both children at Sam Chapman in the morning before school and then at about 7:35 approximately the grade 1 child will be bussed to Fred Varley.   Afterschool, the grade 1 child will be bussed to Sam Chapman for afterschool care. 
For those parents that live much closer to Fred Varley than Sam Chapman, they may drop both children at Fred Varley and then the older child (ren) will be bussed to Sam Chapman at 7:45 am.  The older child(ren) would be bussed back to Fred Varley afterschool for childcare.  Here is the link to Fred Varley Childcare  http://www.yrdsb.ca/schools/fredvarley.ps/info/Pages/Before-and-After-School-Childcare.aspx​  and here is the link for Sam Chapman childcare  http://www.yrdsb.ca/schools/samchapman.ps/info/Pages/Before-and-After-School-Childcare.aspx

 
Question:  My family lives within walking distance of Sam Chapman.  How will I manage to get the grade 1 child on the bus for Fred Varley and still have time to get my older child(ren) to Sam Chapman for 8:05 start?
 
Answer:  The bus will pick up the grade 1 child at a bus stop in the area at 7:35 am  approximately and then your other child(ren) will have 30 minutes to get to Sam Chapman before instruction begins at 8:05.
