School Bus Service

There is a bus transport service available for Xwemélch'stn Etsímxwawtxw – Capilano Little Ones School. A bus schedule is developed at the beginning of the year based on enrolments and transport requests which details the pickup and drop off times and locations.

Area Covered

Children residing in Mission, Eslha7án̓ and Seymour are eligible for the bus service.

Bus Service Protocol

Safety is of paramount importance and parents/guardians must adhere to the Bus Contract. Children accessing the bus service must be accompanied or released to a noted and authorized parent/guardian. If the authorized contact is not at the bus stop, the child will be brought back to the school.

If a child is acting in an unsafe manner on the bus, the following steps will be followed:

  • The child will be given a verbal warning (parent/guardian will be informed).
  • The parent/guardian will be given a written warning.
  • The child will be removed from the bus for one day, followed by one week if the unsafe behaviour continues. Parents/guardians will be telephoned prior to this happening.

Communication Protocols

At times, due to inclement weather or unexpected traffic delays, the bus may be delayed. If this is the case, the school will notify parents. Please ensure that the school has your updated contact information on file.

Please Note: Ta7lnew̓ás Education, Employment & Training Department reserves the right to discontinue bus service to any child due to misconduct or repeated failure of the parent/guardian or authorized person to meet the child at the bus stop. Parents/guardians will receive a phone call and written warning prior to any discontinuation.
