SCHOOL BUS SERVICES

We do not intend to put a mandatory bussing policy in place as we prefer to offer parents the flexibility to pick up their children. However, if traffic does pose a safety issue or becomes an inconvenience for local residents, we will have no choice but to implement mandatory bussing. 

We do highly recommend that your child / children register for the School Bus to and from school. The designated area for all students departing by bus is the Lower Primary Carpark. Students will be escorted this area by Teachers / TAs

PRIVATE CARS

Our is is always to minimize the impact of traffic congestion and speed up the pick up process for all involved. The designated area for all children being picked up by car / taxi is the Lower Primary Bus Lay-by.

The dismissal time for all students departing campus by car is:

12:00pm - AM Session
3:45pm - PM Session

If you arrive in the Lower Primary Bus bay, and your child has not yet arrived at the meeting point, you will be asked to circle around. This may require that you exit the lay-by and turn left, and proceed down the hill towards the roundabout. We do not recommend arriving before the above mentioned times since it only creates added congestion on the road.

If you are driving, please do not exit your vehicle and walk into the bus lay-by to pick up your child / children during dismissals. This creates an unsafe environment - mixing pedestrians with cars, and also disrupts the flow of traffic. If anyone is found to breach this rule, they will be asked to register for the bus service.

WALKER

Students who are registered walkers during the regular school year may elect to arrive and depart school on foot. In addition, if your child / children use public transport to go home, they must be registered as walkers. Students should be collected at the Lower Primary Security Booth at the following times:

12:00pm - AM Session
3:45pm - PM Session

Only those registered on our dismissal list as a walker will be allowed to depart through this exit.

The weather during this time of the year can be rather unpredictable - not only is it much warmer, there are also frequent downpours. We encourage students that live further away, but still within a walking distance, consider taking the bus to avoid repeated changes to their transport / dismissal requests. All dismissal changes will need to be submitted 24 hours in advance, and can be done so by clicking on this link. 

If your child is registered as a walker, they must either depart school on foot, or use public transport. Please do not park your car on an adjacent street and walk with your child to your vehicle. If anyone is found to breach this rule, they will be suspended from walking for the remainder of the session.

RESIDENTS AT NIT (FACULTY & STAFF CHILDREN)

Residents in the building can be collected from the LP Lift Lobby located on the 1st floor of the building. If anyone in our program plans a playdate with one of the residents in the building, they should submit a change of transport / dismissal request.

You will receive an email early next week which will help your child prepare for our program. We look forward to welcoming your child for what promises to be a fun, safe & engaging two weeks!

CHANGE OF TRANSPORTATION

If for any reason, your child’s method of dismissal needs to be changed, you must complete our Change of Regular Transportation / Dismissal Form. It is important that you alert us to any changes - such as bus to walker or private pick up (or vice-versa) - as the dismissal areas for all 3 options are different, and your child will need to be redirected to the designated area.

Please note that there are no one off bus-to-bus changes allowed during the summer, and non bus riding students are unable to request a one off bus ride to go home with a friend.
