Getting to School

How am I Going to Get to School?

One thing you can do to prepare for grade 9 is come up with your plan to get to and from school. You might want to practice your route in the summer so you feel less nervous when school starts. If you are planning to take the TTC we have included the link to the TTC Route Planner.

TTC - Good To Know...

Crowds are part of taking the TTC so if you do not like being in a crowd plan to leave a little bit earlier, or later, consider walking to a stop that is not right in front of your school, or wait for an emptier bus or subway
Delays on the TTC are out of your control, there is NOTHING we can do about it, except to be patient
Have a plan for what to do if you miss your stop
Know that if you are having trouble for any reason you can ask any TTC worker in a uniform for help
