2024-2025 Bus Registration

For September 2024, STAR Catholic will be implementing the following registration process:
• All students who would like to utilize the school bus must register prior to
June 15, 2024
o The transportation registration deadline is 12 pm (noon) June 15, 2024 to
provide us time to follow up with families where clarification is needed, prior
to the end of the school year.
o Registrations received after the June 15, 2024 deadline will be processed over
the summer months and assigned to the bus as space allows.

• Parents/guardians will be contacted by the second week of July to indicate if their
children have been placed on a bus and whether or not a transportation fee will
apply, OR if they have been placed on a waiting list.
o If a fee applies, parents/guardians must confirm that they would like to
proceed with registration no later than July 19, 2024 by email.

All school bus registrations will be assigned to the bus in the following order, as space
allows:
1. Eligible students living 2.4 km or further from their designated school
2. Students who will become eligible under the new 2025-26 guidelines (K-6 1 km or
more, Gr 7-12 2 km or more)
3. Ineligible students (living closer than 1 or 2 km to their designated school)
STAR Catholic is actively working with our existing contractors to add capacity to the start
of the 2024-25 school year and will continue to add capacity as needed. Because this is
dependent on the availability of school buses and bus drivers, students may be placed on a
waiting list if they are ineligible students.

Bus space is limited, so any requests made after June 15th are not guaranteed.
