Derry you will be missed. You were always there at a moments notice to rescue our busses and drivers. I will not forget chatting with you on Monday and can not believe that was our last time seeing you. I will miss your smile and laugh you gave me every single time I would see you driving into the yard with a bus on the hook. I would look at you and say you laugh Rankin to which you always replied I laugh because I can see you already calculating what the bill will cost in your head. Everyone in our Napanee office will miss you dearly. Soar with the angels our dear friend.

This is amazing

Happy Halloween everyone stay safe.

Hi everyone we wanted to let you know as school approaches we have placed a picture of your child’s driver as they go up the stairs of their bus. They will be on one side or the other of the stairwell so that the kids can see the face of their driver without their mask on. We hope this helps ease some stress for all our little ones. We would love to Thank one of our Moms from one of the students for suggesting this amazing idea. We love the ideas from parents that can help with our young riders at this time. We wish everyone a great first day and please know your Children and our Drivers Health and safety is our main concern. If you have any ideas that can help with our transition to our new normal please feel free to reach out to us and we will do our very best to try to help. Stay safe everyone and stay Kind.

Everyone has a role to play in preventing the spread of COVID-19 through the community and students should be encouraged to do their part while riding the bus.... Tri-Board sees this as another layer of bus safety so we will be posting pandemic-related messages along with our weekly safety tips. Follow @triboardbus and #TBSafetyTip so you dont miss out!
