Who should register?

For the 2019-20 school year, all students requiring bus transportation must register (or re-register, if you rode this year) as our new registration forms include new information.

Please do not assume that the Transportation Department knows that you require transportation. Please register your student with the department yourself.

Once your child is registered, your child’s grade will automatically be advanced each year and transportation will be provided. However, it is important that you complete and submit an updated Student Bus Registration Form if:

• Your child changes schools;
• Your residence changes;
• Your contact information changes;
• The number of students living at your residence changes (ex. younger sibling starting school, older sibling graduating)

The Student Bus Registration Form must be completed annually for:

• • Non-eligible students (students who live less than 2.4 km from their designated school)
  • School of Choice (students attending a school other than their designated school)

Alternative Transportation Request Forms must be completed annually. 

 

Eligible Students

Students will be provided with transportation between their residence and their school at no cost if they:

• Reside within the attendance area of the school in which they are enrolled; AND
• Reside within the division boundary; AND
• Reside at a distance greater than 2.4 km from that school.

Transportation of Non-eligible Students

Transportation may be offered to students who reside less than 2.4 km from their Designated School if:

• There is sufficient seating on the bus after all Eligible Students have been accommodated;
• It does not significantly impact the ride time of Eligible Students on the route;
• Parents/caregivers agree to pay transportation fees as determined by the Board.

Transportation of Non-Eligible Students may be revoked at any time if space availability becomes an issue, as priority is given to Eligible Students in a designated attendance area.

Parents/caregivers may apply to the Transportation Coordinator if they feel that exceptional circumstances, such as medical conditions or safety concerns, do not fit the criteria noted above. Such requests will be considered on an individual basis.

School of Choice

Transportation may be offered to students attending a school other than their Designated School if:

• There is sufficient seating on the bus after all Eligible and Non-eligible Students have been accommodated;
• It does not significantly impact the ride time of Eligible Students on the route;
• Parents/caregivers arrange to transport the student to a Designated Bus Stop within the school’s Attendance Area.
• Parents/caregivers agree to pay transportation fees as determined by the Board.

Transportation of School of Choice Students may be revoked at any time if space availability becomes an issue, as priority is given to Eligible Students in a designated attendance area.
