The responsibility for the safe and timely arrival of students at a school bus stop, and the student’s safe return home
from a bus stop, rests with the parent or guardian. Parents are encouraged to limit the time that students spend at the
bus stop and to arrange for supervision of their children at the bus stop where appropriate.
As per Transport Canada Guidelines and Regulations, pre-school aged children under the age of five are not be permitted
to ride on school buses.
School buses are operated at maximum capacities as indicated by Department of Education policies.
For a 72-passenger bus, these capacities are:
- 72 students for grades k-6 or a mixed load of grades K-12.
- 63 students for grades 7-12.
The school bus is considered an extension of school property and students are required to take responsibility for their
behaviour and conduct and to contribute to safety on the bus.
