Transportation

Transportation is provided by yellow bus for our students living in the Tawa and Laurel East Areas and for students in our special education programs.  

Specific guidelines for service provision can be found at http://epsb.ca/schools/gettoschool/

Yellow bus service from the Laurel East area will be available for eligible students.  Eligible students attending their designated school may be able to apply for yellow bus service. Bus fees will apply.

INCLEMENT WEATHER

Cold temperatures, wind chill and snow can make getting to and from school challenging.

CLOSING SCHOOLS IN BAD WEATHER

Division schools do not close due to bad weather. Assume that schools are open unless you hear otherwise through the media or directly from the school.

Schools need to remain open even under the most severe weather conditions to provide a safe environment for students who choose to attend. It is up to you to decide whether or not to send your child to school on days with severe weather, but please inform the school if you choose to keep your child at home.

YELLOW BUS SERVICE IN BAD WEATHER

Yellow school buses may run later than usual, or not at all, on days when the weather is very bad. It's important to have alternate arrangements in place for getting your child to school in case the bus doesn't arrive. Don't leave your child unattended at the bus stop in severe weather for any period of time. Learn more about late and cancelled buses.

PEDESTRIAN SAFETY

Please use the marked crosswalk and follow the directions of the Safety Patrols. Jay-walking and coming out between parked cars is very dangerous. Thank you for not making U-turns or turning around in neighbouring driveways in our school zone. 

Thank you for taking an extra few minutes to help keep everyone safe!
