Under no circumstances will your child be permitted to leave the school with a driver that you have not designated on the transportation card. Send a note to the teacher if an undesignated person is to pick up your child on a particular day. In case of an emergency, please call the school office to give the name of the substitute driver. Emergency Closings: Announcements on KDKA radio pertaining to Gateway School District closings are always applicable to St. Bernadette Preschool.
