Kindergarten Transportation Information, Tags, and Safety Resources

Transportation Information

After August 15th, STSWR sends out a letter directly to families of JK and SK students, detailing their child’s September transportation information.

STSWR gives out kindie tags to schools at WCDSB or WRDSB Administrative Start Up Meetings each school year for JK and SK students that will be transported. All elementary schools receive blank name tags in August to issue to newly eligible JK and SK students during the school year. You can also create your own:

Initiation

Initiation of the GRT pass has not changed: eligibility is determined only for specific students under special circumstances through the school enrollment process and STSWR works with GRT to ensure eligibility is identified at GRT terminals.

Student Seating Plan

A seating plan should be constructed in a coordinated manner between the school staff and bus driver.

Kindergarten students should always sit at the front of the bus, close to the driver.
