Payment can be made online, at your local school by cheque only, or by cash or cheque at the school board office. Please keep your receipt as proof of payment. In cases of financial hardship, application for subsidy may be made through your school Principal.
Bus passes are sent electronically once payment has been made.
If you have not made payment nor made arrangements through your school Principal, your reserved seat will be assigned to a student on the waiting list. Should you change your mind subsequent to the June 30 deadline, you will be required to complete a new
Transportation Request Form online or at your school and your child will be placed on the waiting list.
