How to check for transportation eligibility, pick-up and drop-off locations:

Families can use an online look-up feature on the Tri-Board website to check for transportation eligibility. Go to www.triboard.ca > hover over the Eligibility menu item > click Transportation Eligibility Search > key in the information requested.

Check Pick-up and Drop-off Times

Families can also check pick-up and drop-off times for their child on the Tri-Board website by scrolling to the Student Transportation Information at the bottom of the page. For security purposes, you are required to provide the child's Ontario Education Number (OEN), birth date, school and grade ****(where can they find the OEN???).

Bus Cancellations and Status Alerts

Whenever a bus is cancelled or delayed by 15+ minutes, a status alert is simultaneously posted to TriBoard's website, the BusPlanner Delays app, and emailed to subscribers. Families relying on transportation are strongly encouraged to use at least one of these alert methods so they are aware of service disruptions and can make alternative travel and/or care arrangements.

Bus Arrival and Departure Zone

The circle drive at the front of the school is reserved for buses from 7:45am to 9AM and 1:30 to 3:15pm daily. Please use the parking at the front of the school or on one of the streets to leave the circle drive clear for buses.

Bus Privileges

The School/Board Code of Conduct applies to students while riding the bus. The purpose of the bus is to provide students with transportation to and from school. Students who ride the bus to school are expected to attend school. Students who attempt to make use of the bus as a “ride” into town, and who do not attend class, may lose their bus privileges.

No Bus Passes

Our greatest priority is to ensure that students arrive safely to and from school. PECI will not offer Bus Passes. Students are expected to ride their assigned bus. This policy is reviewed each fall.
