For students on cancelled bus routes, Montri will run buses from the Emporium Suites (next to the Emporium Department Store) at 6:20am on Thursday 16th January. The closest BTS station is Phrom Phong. Parents of students in ES and MS should ensure that students are dropped off and picked up by a responsible adult. Students will return to the Emporium Suites at approximately 3:00pm in the afternoon (assuming normal traffic conditions).

Diana Drummond will be waiting for students on Thursday morning at the Emporium Suites- phone 085 663 9380.

All buses and vans will depart ISB in the afternoon at 2:15pm. There will be no activity buses.

To help with the continuity of learning, teachers will be in contact electronically with those students still unable to get to school.

ES: Teachers will use their class blogs and/or parent email.

We will remain in contact with our security advisors, monitor events, and be in touch again when needed.
