2026-2027 General Transportation Registration Now Underway

Registration for General Transportation for the 2026-27 school year began on May 13. Registrations must be received by June 14, 2026 to ensure students are added to routes for the first day of classes next year. Late registration will continue to be received but will result in a delay in access to the bus route. Registration must be done through your using MyCBE.

Conditional Ridership registration begins June 15. Conditional ridership may be available to students who are not eligible for general transportation.

Conditional ridership:

• is not guaranteed;
• must be applied for every year using MyCBE;
• must be approved by Transportation Services before riding;
• has a fee;
• is offered on a first come, first served basis;
• means the student must access an existing stop; and
• is granted based on the above criteria; should routes change or if qualified students are added to a route and the bus becomes overcrowded, conditional riders may be removed to accommodate these changes

Parents must have alternate transportation arrangements in place in case approval is not received before the start of the school year, in case the registration is not approved, and/or in case the conditional rider status is removed in the school year. This is a set fee for the school year that is not adjusted based on actual usage.

Transportation is an annual service that can be paid monthly. Families are not able to register for only certain months ahead of time. Once registered, service continues until a cancellation is submitted, even if the student doesn't ride the bus every day.

Swimming – June – Grade 5 Volunteers Urgently Needed

Next week, our Kindergarten, Grade 4, and Grade 5 classes will be attending swimming sessions at the Glenmore Aquatic Centre.

We are currently in need of additional male volunteers to support our Grade 5 students. Their swim time is from 10:00 to 11:00 AM, and we still require one male volunteer for each of the following dates:

• June 17
• June 18
