Hello Ernestown parent community,
Please find below key updates to our pick up, drop off, parking, and busing schedules, effective Monday, December 1, 2025.
Starting on December 1, Ernestown Secondary and Intermediate School, and Odessa Public School students will start the new busing and drop-off plan.
Effective Dec. 1, parent drop-off and parking in front of Ernestown will open. At the same time, the bus zone will move to the back of Ernestown. It is imperative that no cars park behind the school effective Dec. 1, to allow buses to safely move along their path.
The driving entrance to the school will remain the same until the new entrance is open.
Intermediate students will exit their buses and head to the back field upon arrival each morning, and then enter through entrance F at 8:05 each day to go upstairs to their classes. Students will also use this entrance and exit for recess each day.
The new plan will restrict the area between Ernestown Secondary and Intermediate School and Odessa Public School to bus-only traffic. Families dropping off at Odessa Public School are asked to approach the site travelling west on North St (Old Wilton Rd), and to drop off in the Odessa Public School parking lot or drop-off area, using the passage side door along the sidewalk. Once drop off is complete, we ask that families continue west along North and use the new cul-de-sac to turn around and leave the site.
Kind regards,
Ernestown Administration
