Bussing
All of our students are eligible to ride the school bus to and from school to their home address. All students will automatically be given a seat on the bus for the duration of the school year unless otherwise notified by the Ms. Pearce or Ms. Sturge.
You do not need to register your child to ride the bus. If you know your child will not ride the school bus at anytime during the school year, to or from school, please let the school know asap and we will remove them from our bus list.
All parents/guardians should set up an account on the parent portal on the NLSchools Transportation Website, so you can see the bus stop your child is designated for. Once you set up an account you will also see the pick up and drop off times. Please note these times are approximate. Students should be at their designated stop at least 10 minutes prior to the scheduled bus arrival time, and likewise for dismissal. You will require your child's student number to set up an account on the parent portal, this can be found on top of an old report card if you have one. If you do not have an old report card, please reach out to the school.
All kindergarten students have to be dropped off and picked up at their stop by an adult (parent/guardian). If at the end of the day, there is no one at the bus stop to meet a kindergarten student, the bus driver will bring the child back to school, where parents/guardians will be called to pick up.
Note that all bus stops are assigned by NLSchools. If you have a concern with a stop, or would like to request an additional stop on a bus route, please complete the Public Inquiry Form. The school, the bus driver or the bus company cannot change stops, unless there are extenuating temporary circumstances that impede safety. If this were to happen the school would be in touch with families.
We ask that all families please read and discuss with your child, the following brochures regarding student bus use. These will also be discussed by your child's teacher.
NL Schools Student Expectations of the Bus
We do not want to have to remove student bus privileges due to unacceptable behavior. The time the children spend on the bus is
considered school time, thus our behavior expectations follow.
Please see NLSchools Student Transportation Website for more information.
