"We are deeply saddened by the loss of this young man’s life," Capt. Mustafa Rabboh said in the statement. "Our heartfelt sympathies and condolences go out to the family."
The driver of the bus was identified as Cynthia Watkins, 58, of Paterson. Watkins was taken from the scene to the hospital for distress and has since been released, police said.
As of Tuesday afternoon, she had not been charged or issued any summonses. 
Bergenfield Schools Superintendent Christopher Tully sent out a letter Tuesday to the district about the death of Alvin, a student at Hoover Elementary School, and said counselors were being made available to "assist children with addressing their grief and anxiety."
In a separate statement, Tully said, "Our entire community is saddened to learn of this tragic loss of life. We offer our condolences to the Maracallo family. We are providing counselors to our students and staff for as long as needed. Please keep our community in your thoughts and prayers."
The Bergenfield Public Library, starting at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, will be a place for members of the public to drop off sympathy cards and gift cards for the Maracallo family in the children's section on the second floor, through June 7. This effort was started by resident Irina Tesoriero. The library also has children's books available about managing grief, said Allison Moonitz, director of the library.
Bergenfield Mayor Norman Schmelz said he found out about the incident just as the borough's annual Memorial Day parade was wrapping up a few blocks away.
"It's a completely tragic accident, and we were coming off remembering our veterans on Memorial Day, and we just heard about the accident, and then not too much after that, the tragic death of the young boy," Schmelz said. "It's a blow to everyone in the community. My heart goes out to the family ... it's not natural for a parent to lose a child."
Bergenfield Councilman Arvin Amatorio said in a statement: “From conversations with Police leadership, I know they are conducting a thorough investigation into how this happened, and if any charges should be brought against the bus driver. My thoughts and prayers are with Alvin’s family, as well as the students and staff at Hoover School. I am encouraged by the news that the school district will have grief counseling and support services for as long as needed to help Alvin’s peers cope with this unimaginable loss.”

Some of the murder victims names killed by NJ Transit and Coach USA bus drivers and train engineers This list is staggering numbers of death I found that was online that was reported. It is more murder caused by NJ Transit/ Coach USA deadly bus drivers and train engineers. I want my readers to know that some of these article links have been removed offline by NJ Transit/Coach USA attorneys . The bus companies have a person to suffer the internet to what articles are written about the countless innocent lives killed by their so call hired train driver.  If the bus companies reported, the bus companies have their attorney's to contact the companies and request them to remove the article that shines the light on the truth. There is too much corruption, cover-up, political favoritism, or nepotism going on with the companies and Vehicular Homicide Prosecutor Department. The bus drivers and train engineers go to work and get pay, while the victim's families have to
