As part of the Manitoba Public Schools Act, all Kindergarten
to Grade 6 students who live more than 1.6 kilometres
away from their neighbourhood (catchment) school qualify
for transportation at no cost to the family.
In addition, the

1) Students with exceptional learning and/or physical
needs will be provided with transportation at no cost to their
catchment school as per individualized education plan.
2) Kindergarten to Grade 12 students residing in the R.M. of
Headingley or Brooklands area are eligible for transportation
to their catchment school if the walking distance from their
home to the school is greater than 1.6 kilometre (as per

Bus Cancellations
Please be advised that with cold winter weather, there exists the possibility of school buses being cancelled for safety reasons. In the event of extremely cold weather (ambient temperature is equal or colder than -35°C or a wind chill hazard of -45°C or greater) buses will be cancelled and students will need alternate transportation.
Note: The wind chill is based on a reading taken by Environment Canada at 6:00 a.m. at The Forks.
