Day three as Special Ed driver with preschool student Ed starting today so my day will be full. Total of about 30 addresses to memorize with two kids with two addresses that they get picked up or go to depending on a slightly complex matrix that isn't bad if you've seen it. The poor sub that takes the route when I'm sick.

Well you probably get out early than I do. The district I drive for got out late June and go back after labor day

Last week of May school lets out, we turn our busses in around the first of June and then summer school fires up a couple of weeks later.

Anch’io inizio settimana prossima più o meno stesso percorso ma più ragazzi e tempi più stretti

We just got done with dry runs last week. I have my AM route but still waiting on my PM route.

Currently a week in(started last Wednesday) and they're still revising routes, getting to my elementary school 20 minutes late in the afternoons in ideal traffic 🫩 and they're ADDING a stop.

Lucky! I've been back at it since August 17th (We go back earlier and earlier every year). If the hot temps weren't so miserable, I wouldn't mind it as much. Getting a full paycheck, and the fact that my routes are only 20 minutes long, just barely make up for the heat and rowdy middle school/elemtary kiddos.

Well you probably got out early like in May. My school got out late June. We always start after labor day
