    AIDAN PERRY, a pre-kindergartner, steps off the bus — driven by Jim Nelson — at Pine Street Elementary School Thursday morning as students headed back to the classroom.

For the past 13 years, the Presque Isle pre-K program had been located adjacent to Presque Isle Middle School, but is now part of Pine Street. SAD 1 officials said it made sense to utilize the school’s empty classrooms, and recognized that the move would make for one less transition for the children and that it was more convenient for parents who may have older kids already at Pine Street. Motorists are advised to use caution now that school is in session.
