We reserve the right to adjust discipline, as needed depending on the infraction.

We realize some buses are very crowded and some students are on the bus for a long time. We suggest students read, study, or quietly talk. Younger students may even wish to bring small toys or colouring books to occupy their time. Together we can make the bus ride an enjoyable part of each child’s day!
