Busing
We are provided busing by WCSD to practice. Parents need to pick athletes up after practice. The schedule is as follows:
Bus #1
John Jay: Pickup at the Gym Lobby @ 3:30 PM
Van Wyck: Pickup at the Gym Lobby @ 3:45 PM
Drop-off at RCK Gym @ 4:00 PM
Bus #2
Wapp Jr: Pickup at the Flagpole @ 3:30 PM
Drop-off at RCK Gym @ 3:45 PM
Buses will drop athletes off at RCK at the gym shortly before 4pm. Athletes are expected to walk down to the weight room hallway and sit quietly until their practice begins. Bring HW!
For Middle Schoolers ONLY:
On Mon/Wed/Fri, Wappingers Junior students on will be chaperoned in room 113. On Tues/Thu they will have a silent study hall in the Math / ELA extra help room - please listen to announcements on these days for the room number.
For Van Wyck students- unfortunately at this time the school does not have a monitor to watch them after school. So they will have to take their regular bus home and then get dropped back off at VW if they want to take the crew bus to practice at 3:45 PM. The school is working on finding someone to monitor them, but if they can’t this will be the case for the season. If any parent's can volunteer in the meantime, please contact Coach Matt and Coach Schlusser.
When we move to the boathouse (around April 1st), the Bus #2 will pick up RCK students at the gym at 3:45 PM and head to the boathouse. Bus #1 will go straight to the boathouse from Van Wyck.
There is no busing to weekend events (practices and races), parents are responsible for pick up and drop off in those cases. Check TeamSnap for any updates regarding busing as the season goes on.
