Applications

Each year, families must apply or reapply for a bus pass. The deadline for reapplying is June 30 of the current school year to ensure the bus pass is ready before the first day of school. Applications received after that date are not guaranteed to be ready for the first day of school.

Bus passes are required to ride the school bus, even on the first day of school. The parent/guardian is responsible for the transportation of the student until they receive their bus pass from the school.

Step 1: Confirm your child's eligibility

Enter the residence of your child by clicking the button below.

*Note: The change to the distance eligibility requirements for student transportation, first announced for September 2024 implementation, was revised by the Government of Alberta to be effective starting September 2025. Due to this government change, eligibility for student transportation at the Grande Public School Division remains unchanged for the 2024/2025 school year.
