Elementary and intermediate schools in Marlboro School District are starting 15 minutes later this year. Classes at Marlboro, Milton and Middlehope Elementary Schools and Marlboro Intermediate School will begin at 8:45.
School administrators decided to make the change to give school buses more time to get kids to school on time. Last year buses were often late, because of all the rush hour traffic on Route 9W during the morning rush hour. School administrators had the choice of adding more buses or changing the start time. They decided it made more sense to start classes 15 minutes later.
The School Breakfast Program will still be available for students when they arrive at school. The first day of school in Marlboro is September 3.

We work with many home buyers who are moving out of New York City and into the slower paced lifestyle of Ulster County. One of the biggest questions we're asked- "How will I get back to the city?" We always tell people to take the train. However, parking at the Poughkeepsie Train Station is almost always a problem.
But now, that's about the change. It's about to even easier for Ulster County residents to get to New York City. Metro-North Railroad will soon start offering a shuttle bus from 3 locations in Ulster County to the Poughkeepsie train station.
The shuttles will run from Highland, New Paltz and Rosendale. A one-way ticket will cost $1.25 from Highland, $1.75 from New Paltz and $2.00 from Rosendale and parking will be free. A monthly shuttle pass will be $40. Considering the price of gas, tolls and a parking permit- MetroNorth says the shuttles will actually save commuters money.
The new service is expected to start in mid-September. Metro-North is hoping the shuttle service will help ease parking congestion at the station.
About 1,800 people use the train station during the week and on Saturdays and another 1,600 use it on Sundays.

I grew up in the Hudson Valley in Highland, NY. After graduating from high school, I attended Ithaca College in the banks of Lake Cayuga. I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in broadcast journalism and a minor in politics. I worked in Syracuse, West Palm Beach, FL and Miami as a television news producer. Each night I put together the newscasts that the local CBS viewers were watching. While working in West Palm Beach, I met and fell in love with my wonderful husband, Jason. When we decided to start a family, I had to return to my home, here in the Hudson Valley. So, I dragged my poor husband from his home in sunny Florida to upstate NY, where we now live in Milton.
After our oldest son, Nathan, was born, I wanted to get back work, but returning to the 60 hour work week I had in television news just wasn't in the cards. The only other career I was interested in was real estate.. so I went back to school again to get my real estate license. Now, my life is very busy, raising our two boys, Nathan and Andrew, working hard with my mom helping our clients' real estate dreams come true and spending time with my wonderful husband.
I'm also loving bringing my 2 loves together with my blog. Everyday, I scan the latest real estate news to help keep you up-to-date.
"I wanted to take the time to say thank you for being so kind and helpful to my sister. We all have our fingers crossed for her. You made an impression on me and I'll be sure to mention you to anyone that wants to buy in the area. Again, thank you." Valerie Farrell
"You are both genuine people and I feel real comfortable working with you. I feel as if you are truly looking out for me and it is a good feeling." Judy FInch
