DD aged 7 should have got the bus home from school today.
Usual procedure is after lessons finish at 2:15 she waits in atrium and is collected by bus monitor and arrives at collection point 2:50.
Today she was not collected from atrium. She along with 6 other children were missed off the bus. The first I knew of this was when I received a call from person meeting her to say she hadn't arrived at collection point.
I rang school - for twenty mins I couldn't get through. After twenty mins the answer phone indicating the school office was now closed kicked in.
There is a second bus that runs to deal with DC's who do after school activities so I asked the person due to collect her to wait in case she was on that one. It usually arrives at 3:50. It eventually arrived at 4:15 and thank goodness DD was on it but I am fuming.
For almost an hour and a half I had no idea where she was or if she was safe.
The school obviously became aware at some point that she missed the bus but didn't think to call me to let me know all was ok.
I'm minded to head to school first thing tomorrow to let the HT have it with both barrels -AIBU
