2024-25 Transportation

For the 2024-25 school year:

• Kindergarten – Grade 6 students living 1 km or further from their designated school are eligible for bus service
• Grade 7 – 12 students living 2 km or further from their designated school are eligible for bus service
• Students living closer than the eligible distances above may apply for conditional bus service. To be approved, there must be space on the bus route, your child must use an existing bus stop, and a bus fee may apply. Students will be assigned to a bus as space allows.

Parents are required to pay a fee for Kindergarten – Grade 6 students who live closer than 1 km to their designated school and Grade 7 – 12 students who live closer than 2 km to their assigned school. These fees are subject to annual review.

If your children are riders on buses operated by another school division, please contact their transportation department directly, for their terms, conditions and fees.

The registration deadline for the 2024-25 school year is noon on June 15, 2024. Any registrations received after June 15, 2024 will be processed in August as space allows.

All Kindergarten – Grade 6 students living 1 km or more from their designated school and all Grade 7 – 12 students living further than 2 km from their designated school will be assigned transportation.

As space allows, students living closer than these distances to their designated school will be assigned. Any remaining seats will be assigned first to current ineligible riders.

If there is still space, newly registering students will be assigned in the following order: Kindergarten – Grade 3 living closer than 1 km from their designated school (including any siblings requiring transportation), Grade 4 – 6 students living closer than 1 km from their designated school, and finally any Grade 7 – 12 students living closer than 2 km from their designated school.

To address waitlist students in a timely fashion, we ask families who are assessed a fee to confirm that they still wish to have access to transportation services. If you do not respond to this email, your registration will be removed.  Please check your email regularly on the status of your registration in the first week of July.

No. The school registration form has a tick box for transportation, and you must complete a separate transportation registration form online to be placed on a bus. 

It will take some time to build capacity to allow us to accommodate all students who may wish to access transportation. As routes are added, parents/guardians will be updated on waiting list progress as it is possible changes will be made to bus routes part way through the school year.
