Items being carried on by students are limited to small articles that can easily be stored within the student’s personal space (i.e., carried on the student’s lap or stored under the seat occupied by the student). Law requires that the centre aisle be kept clear.

Hockey sticks, curling brooms, ringette sticks, skis, skateboards, snowboards, or other similar items are not allowed. Skates will be allowed only when blades are enclosed in proper skate guards and stored in a carry bag. Any balls must be carried in a bag.
Science fair backboards are not allowed.
Students should be prepared to place their carry-on items, such as books or other accessories, below their seats. This may mean carrying books or other items in a plastic bag, as the school bus floors are frequently muddy or wet during inclement weather.

MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS

Due to safety regulations, only recorders, piccolos, oboes, flutes, and B-flat clarinets may be held on a student’s lap. The following instruments must be placed under the seat: trumpet/cornet (slim case), trombone (narrow black case), and alto saxophone.

For further information about the transportation of musical instruments, please contact your school music teacher.

SPECIAL REQUESTS

Students other than those approved for regular transportation are not permitted to ride the school bus. School bus drivers are not authorized to grant any parental requests. Students must only get on and off at their schedule bus stop location. Notes from parents will not be accepted.
