School Bus Orientation
The CBE offers a school bus orientation program called My 1st Ride. This program is designed to familiarize students with the experience of taking the yellow bus to and from school on a regular basis.
The orientation is aimed at first-time riders, students with special transportation needs and older students. Each group is offered an orientation session to meet their diverse needs. The orientation typically takes place annually in May and consists of a 20-minute presentation followed by a short ride on a school bus. Each new rider will also be given a certificate of completion.
Staff from CBE Transportation, Calgary Catholic School District and our service providers are available for information and/or questions.
Participants must register in advance. Spots are limited and are on a first-come, first-served basis.
