Preparing your kindergarten child to ride the school bus Riding the school bus is a new experience for kindergarten children. The bus is a very safe way for your child to travel to and from school. In fact, school buses are the safest vehicles on the road.
Most mishaps take place outside the bus.
This fact sheet will provide you with practical tips to help you prepare your child to safely ride the school bus. The Peel District School Board and the Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board operate a joint transportation system that provides busing service for thousands of students each year. Kindergarten students who live more than one kilometre from the school qualify for transportation. Your child's school will inform you of bus times and bus stop locations. Schedules are approximate, so students should be at bus stops at least five minutes before the designated time.
