Reminder! Opt out of transportation - June 1 deadline.
Did you know that if your eligible child doesn't require school bus transportation for the 2026-2027 school year, you can opt out? Please fill out an online form by June 1 to let OSTA know that a seat is not needed. This will help optimize services and minimize disruptions.
Requests for reinstated service can be made anytime through OSTA’s Transportation Issues Form, and is subject to availability and eligibility.

A child in a school zone is not thinking in metres per second.
They are thinking:
• “I see my friend”
• “I dropped something”
• “I can make it across”
They do not judge:
→ stopping distance
→ reaction time delays
→ vehicle speed accurately

Today, we remember the six million Jewish people lost in the Holocaust and the many others who suffered due to hatred and discrimination. At the #OCSB, we honour survivors and commit to learning, compassion, and never forgetting.
