Is your child starting school this September? STWDSTS’s First Rider Program is a great way to help young children (and their families!) feel more confident and prepared for the first day of school—whether they’ll be riding the bus or walking.
EVENT DETAILS:
Date: Tuesday, August 26, 2025
Session Times: 9:00 AM, 10:00 AM, and 11:00 AM
Duration: Approximately 45 minutes per session
Locations: Please see the flyers attached here in English and French. Wheelchair accessible sites available.
This free, annual safety program is hosted by the STWDSTS Operator’s Association. It’s open to all young students, including those who will be walking to school. Families will learn about school bus rules and safety procedures through:
A short, age-appropriate safety video
A helpful Q&A session
A ride on a real school bus
How to Register:
Online registration opens June 1, 2025, and closes on August 19, 2025. Visit STWDSTS’s website to register.
This is a wonderful opportunity for first-time students to experience what school transportation is like before the big day. We hope to see you there!
