  • Bus routes are set at the end of June
  • All parents must read, sign and return the "Code of Conduct on Buses" to the school by the end of September of each school year

Routes

  • All families are required to confirm their need for bus service by June 15th. Once established, the routes cannot be changed
  • Families requesting busing after June 15th will be required to fit into existing routes

  • We will attempt to have your bus stop no more than 1.5 km from your house.

  • All students (regardless of age) should be met at the bus stop by the responsible parent or guardian unless the school receives notification by the parent in writing that this is not necessary. Notification Form

Bus Fees

  • For fee schedule, please see your admission package (2010/2011 - $900 per family/per year)
  • Families wishing to commence/terminate bus service during the school year will be subject to a $50.00 administration charge for each change and a pro-rated fee schedule.

Bus Cancellation

  • In the event of bad weather, a phone chain is in place to contact you should the buses be canceled. Also check CFRB 1010.
  • Friends can ride home on the bus on occasion but requests must be sent in writing to the Vice-Principal. The Vice Principal will then sign the note and the note must be presented to the bus driver. The homeroom teacher also needs to be notified.

Conduct on the Buses

  • It is a privilege, not a right, to be on the bus
  • We will adhere to the Code of Conduct that each parent reads upon admission.
  • The driver will monitor conduct carefully

Your Transportation Committee...

  • Exists to help families at JKCS. We appreciate your input and support. This Committee reports to the Board through a board representative
  • Is made up of 4 route reps (one for each bus), a chairperson, the Vice-Principal and a Board Representative
  • Students are expected to follow the Bus Code of Conduct while riding our JKCS school buses.
