Bus Transportation

Transportation by school bus is provided for:
  • Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten pupils who live more than .6 km. from their designated school.
  • Grades 1-6 pupils who live more than 1.4 km. from their designated school.

Safe behaviour on the part of bus children is expected at all times. We count on parents to help us emphasize the importance of observing the following rules with their children
  • Pupils must remain seated on the bus at all times
  • Any activity which may distract the bus driver and thereby endanger the safety of all, is forbidden (yelling, fighting, punching, throwing objects, etc.)
  • Courtesy towards each other and the bus drivers is expected of all students.
  • The E.M.S.B. issued bus pass must be shown to the driver upon request.
  • Children are not permitted to eat on the bus.

Inappropriate behaviour reported by the bus driver is treated very seriously. Temporary suspension of bus privileges follows if warnings are ignored. Please note that the safety of the children at the bus stops, either before embarking or after disembarking from the school bus is the responsibility of the parents.
