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

Transportation

Many families have asked about transportation.  Each of the divisions that we have talked to, either in a meeting or over the phone have informed us that children within the division will be transported by bus to the school with the Spanish language program.  Those that reside out of the division will need to be transported by their families.
