Transportation
The UGDSB transportation site is: www.stwdsts.ca Please bookmark this site for future reference. Students who are taking the bus (most Tytler students in JK – grade 6) should be contacted by the transportation department. If you have not heard from transportation by mid August, call 519 824- 4119.
There will be street patrols in certain areas to help cross students safely to school. We encourage walking to school as much as possible to promote exercise, eliminate pollution and reduce traffic congestion.
