District Transportation
2011-12 School Bus Transportation
Notice to Parents and Students
Each year, changing demographics require that School District #33 Transportation department refine our eligible School Bus Transportation routes. As part of this process, we require confirmation of eligibility and payment of the Student Transportation charge.
Payment of a Student Transportation charge will be required before a SD33 School Bus Pass will be issued. The yearly pass is $200 per student to a maximum of $600 per family. Bus passes will be available for pick up at the student's school by August 30th. Please note bus passes will not be required for elementary students.
In order to confirm eligibility for the 2011-12 school year, please review the following:

Regular School Bus Transportation is provided for school age students whose primary residence is at least 3.0 km (K-grade 6) and 4.0 km (grades 7-12) from their catchment area school. Special provisions are made for kindergarten and special education students.
The safe transportation of students is everyone's concern. It requires cooperation among students, parents, drivers and teachers.
