While the school year may have just come to an end for local students, planning for the fall is already underway.
Southwestern Ontario Student Transportation Services remind parents that bus registration for the 2022-2023 school year must be completed by Friday, July 15th. The mandatory registration is necessary for both elementary and secondary school students across the Thames Valley and London District Catholic School Boards.
Students attending their board-designated schools are eligible for distance-based transportation from their primary address as follows:
- Elementary aged students who reside greater than 1.6 kms from the school site
- Secondary aged students who reside greater than 3.2 kms from the school site
If a residential address does not qualify for transportation based on distance as determined by STS, it is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to determine how the student will arrive at and depart from school.
Students who require Specialized Transportation Services must apply for transportation using the Specialized Transportation Application found at www.mybigyellowbus.ca/our-forms.
STS will then review the request to ensure that the student is eligible for transportation and that all terms and conditions are met prior to transportation being assigned.
Bus time tables are expected to be posted in the Parent Portal by late August.
