Dear Depew School District Community,
I am thrilled to introduce myself as the new Transportation Supervisor for Depew Union Free School District. My name is Suzanne DeMartino, and I am both honored and excited to join this vibrant community.
With 19 years of experience in transportation and a strong commitment to ensuring safe and efficient travel for students, I am eager to contribute to the continued success of our district. My background includes overseeing a range of transportation operations, implementing safety protocols, and working closely with staff, students, and parents to address any concerns and improve service.
In my role as Transportation Supervisor, my primary goal is to ensure that every student arrives at school and returns home safely and on time. I am committed to maintaining open lines of communication with all stakeholders and am here to support you in any way I can. Your feedback and concerns are important to me, and I encourage you to reach out with any questions or suggestions.
As I begin this new chapter with Depew UFSD, I look forward to getting to know this community and providing the best possible transportation experience for our students. Thank you for the warm welcome I have already received.
Best regards,
Suzanne DeMartino
Transportation Supervisor
