Facility rentals The school makes spaces available for community facility rentals after school, evenings, and weekends year-round, and invites inquiries and proposals for programs or events. School bus transportation (District service) Chilliwack School District requires all riders to register each year to receive a valid bus pass. District transportation information includes eligibility categories (regular riders, students with special needs, special program riders, and courtesy riders), registration fees (timing-based), and bus safety/code-of-conduct expectations for students.
School Culture and Expectations
For students who ride school buses, the District transportation Code of Conduct emphasizes respect for other riders and the driver, following the driver’s instructions, riding only assigned buses, and using safe behaviors at stops, on the bus, and when crossing the road. District rules also note that riding the school bus is a privilege, not a right.
Transportation, Parking, and Getting Here
District transportation requires annual bus registration and a valid bus pass for riders. Families can expect an email after processing with the student’s bus number plus pickup/drop-off locations and approximate times; kindergarten students must be met by a parent/guardian at the bus stop or they will be returned to their school. The District also provides bus safety rules for waiting, boarding, riding, and leaving the bus, and notes that only registered riders may ride their assigned bus.
