New Grade 5 or 8 Transportation Letter 2026-2027
February 2026
To Parents and Guardians of current Grade 5 or 8 students moving to Middle or High School,
The transportation department provides busing up to and including grade 6 if you live within city limits, are at least 1.6KM from your school of attendance and are attending your catchment school.
We also provide transportation to all students up to and including grade 12 if they live outside of city limits (North side of Glenway Ave and further North) and are more than 1.6KM from their school and attending their catchment school.
Please be advised that we base distance eligibility on our routing software and not Google maps. If you think your child will qualify for busing next year, please fill out a Form A transportation application, even if your child currently takes the bus, as the busing will not rollover to your child’s new school.
The application is found on our website retsd.mb.ca > PARENTS&STUDENTS > TRANSPORTATION and can be emailed directly to the transportation office or sent to the school. Please also review the busing policies as it contains all the guidelines and qualifications for busing.
