Students attending their board-designated schools are eligible for distance-based transportation from their primary address as follows:

Elementary aged students who reside greater than 1.6 kms from the school site
Secondary aged students who reside greater than 3.2 kms from the school site
If a residential address does not qualify for transportation based on distance as determined by STS, it is the responsibility of the parent/caregiver to determine how the student will arrive at and depart from school.

For transportation-eligible students, STS offers a scheduled, fixed route transportation model whereby eligible riders are assigned to both specific bus routes and bus stop locations.

The service does not allow for flexible ridership for safety reasons and requests for assignments to other bus routes/stops for circumstances like part-time jobs, lessons, visitation at a friend's house etc. will be denied by the school, bus company and/or STS.

A bus registration form must be completed for each student. STS will review the request to ensure that the student is eligible for transportation and that all terms and conditions are met prior to transportation being assigned.

STS will plan home to school transportation based on the student's primary address registered with the school board and to their board-designated school.

A student can only have one primary address. The primary address must be transportation eligible as established in the STS software.

Students who are eligible for transportation may have one (1) additional secondary address for caregiving reasons or joint custody arrangements.
Secondary addresses for joint custody are complex based on the individualized nature of custodial agreements. A separate form must be completed for Joint Custody Transportation, available at www.mybigyellowbus.ca.
Parents/caregivers remain responsible for transportation arrangements that are beyond the scope of the service model provided by STS.

The London District Catholic School Board (LDCSB) has achieved its goal of installing air conditioning (AC) in every school classroom. As part of a long-term plan, the project took years to complete.

The fast-growing London District Catholic School Board (LDCSB) will be submitting business cases to the Ministry of Education this month for six new schools in the region.

The Ministry of Education has announced that it has granted approval and $20.6 million in benchmark funding for a new elementary school and childcare centre in Middlesex Centre.

The new school, to be built just west of London in the Kilworth-Komoka area on a site yet to be determined, will have a capacity for 424 students as well as a five-room childcare centre.
