Bus Pass Application

Commencing the 2020-2021 School year it is mandatory for all students riding a First Student school bus to have a current year bus pass prior to boarding to ensure the health & safety of every student. Students that do not provide their bus pass will not be allowed to board the bus.

Also, commencing the 2020-2021 School year, a bus application for each child (Rural & Urban) must be filled out annually. If your child changes schools, moves to a different location, or requires different transportation needs during the school year, you will be required to complete a new bus application form.

Filling out this form ensures we have sufficient room for your child by assigning them a seat and printing off a valid bus pass.

For those that applied during the early registration period (between March 2^nd - April 30^th) we will assign seats for:

All eligible applicants
Out-of-boundary students, Celtic Sports Academy and Montessori students where we can make a connection

Those applying on May 1^st and onward, will be processed on a first-come, first-serve basis regardless of your eligibility if a connection can be made or room permits on the school bus.

PLEASE EDUCATE YOURSELF ON THE CURRENT ELIGIBILTY CRITERIA
