Transportation, Parking, and Getting Here
Student transportation is managed by the district Transportation Department (email generally provides quicker support; phone 250-365-8331 option 1; after-hours emergency option 4). Bus eligibility is based on distance from the catchment school (generally beyond 2 km for Grades K–7), measured via public road/pathway access. To remain eligible, students must use the bus at least 20% of the time (about 2 out of 10 rides per week). Courtesy ridership may be available if space permits (not guaranteed), and route extensions may be considered under specific conditions (e.g., at least eight students beyond 2 km of an existing stop and a safe turnaround).
