Walking School Bus

Stevenson’s 9th Annual Walking School Bus

June 5 – June 15, 2017

 

This year, the Walking School Bus is continuing to run for 2 weeks!

 

Stevenson staff once again wish to promote taking active routes to school such as walking or biking. We can all benefit from having healthier lifestyles and taking care of our environment. We are offering a walking school bus every morning for the next 2 weeks. The regular school bus will still be running. Your regular pick up and drop off sites and times will remain the same for both weeks if you prefer.

 

As an alternative to riding the bus, we are offering to walk with your child to school every morning for the next 2 weeks. Please walk your child to one of the meeting places. We will pick up your child along our routes. You are most welcome to join us. Here are meeting times and places. Pick the one that suits you the best:

 

Route 1: East end travelling west -

SE corner of Queen and Ness - 8:20am         

From here, we will walk West bound along Ness, picking up students at each of the following streets: King Edward, Brooklyn, and Berry.

SW corner of Berry and Ness - 8:25am

 

Route 2: West end travelling east -

SE corner of Ferry and Ness   - 8:15am

From here, we will walk East bound along Ness, picking up students at each of the following streets: Collegiate, Roseberry, Parkview, Marjorie, and Hampton.

SW corner of Berry and Ness - 8:25am

 

Both routes will combine at the SW corner of Berry and Ness and walk North bound on Berry to Silver. The regular crossing guards will be at their corners to help us cross Ness and Silver safely. Both routes will be supervised by Stevenson staff. Please feel free to join us on the walk to school. We will plan to arrive at school at 8:35am.

 

You do not need to sign up your child for the walking school bus. If you know that you can accompany us as an extra adult supervisor, please join us on the dates you are available. Please remember that the Walking School Bus is for mornings only. You do not need to call the transportation office to let them know your child is not on the bus. Your bus driver is aware of our Walking School Bus.

 

Thank you for your time,
