Transportation, Parking, and Getting Here
For busing, Langley School District uses an online transportation registration process and distinguishes between Eligible Riders and Courtesy Riders. Eligibility is based on walk limits (Elementary: 3.2 km), and families are directed to use the District’s online tool to determine eligibility and then complete the appropriate online registration form. The District also outlines transportation registration guidance for riders with diverse abilities (as per policy) and for International Student Program riders (through homestay coordinators). Separately, the District notes that transportation services will not be provided for students attending Choice programs.
