Bus Information

Parents/caregivers of eligible yellow bus riders,

Lethbridge School Division is working through a new process for registering students for transportation. This new process has presented some unforeseen challenges.  
However, regardless of whether an eligible student is registered through this new system or not, ALL eligible students will have a seat on the bus for the start of the school year on Sept. 5.

To find out how to access transportation:
Southland Transportation Ltd. has posted the route maps for 2023/2024. Please check the maps that are posted on our website by going to the Transportation tab here: TRANSPORTATION. Have your child at the closest bus stop from your residence at least five minutes prior to the scheduled pick-up time.

Registration:
The registration process continues as we work through these technicalities. We are eager to implement this registration process to support future transportation planning and appreciate your patience. For the 2023/2024 school year, students eligible for transportation will be able to access transportation, regardless of whether they have registered under the new system or not.

1. The school will be receiving student bus lists from the division shortly. Once we receive the information, Mrs. Giles will contact you with more information.

2. Reminder: If your child is a Montessori student and you live 2.4 Kms or further from Fleetwood Bawden- they are eligible for bus transportation. Mrs. Giles sent an email on August 21, 2023 that contains a form that must be completed and returned ASAP. If you did not receive this email, please contact Mrs. Giles jenn.giles@lethsd.ab.ca.

3. Please contact Mrs. Giles with any bussing questions and ensure you visit the Southland website for the latest route information for the Fleetwood/Agnes Davidson bus schedules.
