• To ensure the utmost safety of our students, particularly those in Early Start and Kindergarten, Suffolk Public Schools does not permit students in Early Start or Kindergarten to walk home or leave the school premises unaccompanied by a parent or adult designee. We are taking this measure to adhere strictly to our hand to hand transportation guidelines, which we believe is essential for the safety of our young learners. Please know that this decision was taken with the best interests of our students in mind. Your understanding and cooperation is greatly appreciated.
