Helping Students Feel Confident Riding the Bus  

The Calgary Board of Education, along with our partners, are pleased to offer a school bus orientation program called My 1^st 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 who are using transportation for the first time. Each group is offered an orientation session to meet their diverse needs.  

The orientation consists of a 20-minute presentation followed by a short ride on a school bus. Each new rider will be given a certificate of completion.     

Participants must register in advance. Spots are limited and are on a first-come, first-served basis.  When registering for My 1^st Ride orientation, please select one ticket per student attending, parents and siblings do not require a ticket.    

The sessions run every half hour between 9 am - 3 pm. Each session will take approximately 1 hour. There is no cost for this event.
