I think it would be appropriate to let the school know if Dad is likely to show up and make a scene at the bus. Having a couple of security personnel quietly available nearby could make a big difference.
I'm wondering if a big challenge for your daughter(s) might be accepting that Dad is just not going to change. Nothing they do (or don't to) will make him drop his explosive ways or act like a reasonable human being. He is what he is, and they (and you) didn't make him that way. From that perspective, it almost doesn't matter who sends the email because if he wants to throw a fit, he will throw one. Letting go of the idea that you can shape another person's actions is easier said than done, but this man sounds like he's immune to the influence of reason or experience.
