Some great safety tips for riding the bus!
Our drivers undergo extensive training before they drive students to and from school. Following techniques learned through PRIDE certification and Ministry of Transportation (MTO) guidelines we produce highly skilled professional drivers. As well we enhance this training with annual safety refreshers and newsletters are distributed throughout the course of the year.
The school buses are subject to regular inspections by the
MTO and our own stringent maintenance program.
We provide training for our JK students to prepare them for riding a school bus for the first time. This program takes place the last Tuesday in August every year and you can register your child through the buskids website.
We train student candidates to become school bus patrols in late September every year. These students are trained in accordance to CAA guidelines with the help of our drivers, local fire and police departments.
During October and November the school bus evacuation program is completed at each school. All children at the school participate in the proper techniques for evacuating a school bus.
