Transportation, Parking, and Getting Here

The district provides courtesy bussing (free of charge) for eligible students who live beyond walking limits to their nearest public school (K–Grade 3: more than 4 km; Grades 4–12: more than 4.8 km). Families must apply online for a bus pass each school year for eligible riders, and passes are scanned when boarding to support safety and communications (such as late-bus notifications). Students should arrive at the bus stop at least 5 minutes early, and parents/guardians are responsible for children’s behaviour and safety at bus stops. The district outlines procedures for late/no-show buses, severe weather service impacts, and how to address concerns with routes or service.
