Bussing


Qualifying Bussing (Per Board Policy):
  • There is free school bus service for qualifying students who are in the [Heritage language] Bilingual Program in Kindergarten to Gr 6
  • Home and Daycare addresses must be within the Division boundaries and at least 1.6 km from school.
  • Daycares within the Division may be serviced if the home qualifies and must also be over 1.6 km from the school.
  • There is no fee for students qualifying for bus service.

Non-Qualifying Bussing:
Any student that does not qualify for bussing under regular Board Policy may apply on a fee-for-service basis from their home or daycare that falls within the following criteria:

  • Service address (home or daycare) must be within the Division
  • Home or daycare must be at least 1.6 km away from the school
  • There must be an existing stop/route that the student could access
  • There must be room on the bus and buses would not be rerouted to accommodate fee paying students 
  • Service will be offered on a first-come, first-serve basis if approved

  • If the seat is required at a later date for a student who qualifies under regular Board Policy, the parent of the fee-for-service student would be given 7 days notice to make alternate arrangements for transportation
