Buses and Transportation
Attention Families! Families who are eligible for busing, must visit www.stsco.ca to “opt-in” for bus transportation for the 2024-2025 school year before Friday, May 31st. This new program requires families to confirm their children’s intent to ride the school bus. If families do not opt in, their child will not be assigned to a bus route for September. Visit the STSCO website to learn more.
Transportation for Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board is provided by Student Transportation Services of Central Ontario (STSCO).
We encourage you to review our Transportation Policies and Guidelines for information related to student safety, bus stops, and frequently asked questions.

Out-of-Boundary Busing Requests |

If your home address is Out-of-Boundary, you can submit a request to be considered for an available seat on a bus, if space allows. Out-of-Boundary Requests are due by May 31 each year and based on availability. If approved, parents/guardians are responsible for dropping their child off and picking them up at the appropriate bus stop. For more information and to learn how to submit an Out-of-Boundary request, please review the Applying for Out-of-Boundary Transportation Memo or visit the STSCO website. |
