Company Expectations

actKIDvity’s expectation is that families commit to the full school year of bus service and as such the fees are non-refundable and non-transferable. The bus routes are primarily designed for door-to-door pickup and drop-off, to ensure safe, effective and efficient stops for groups of students. However, other arrangements can be explored, if feasible, for students residing in remote areas.​

Payment

Students are required to pay, prior to the first day of bus service commencement, usually September 5th.

The full fee for transportation services is $5650. Families with more than one child are entitled to a second or third child discount at the rate of $5137.40. For parents requiring only one-way service, our fee is $4760. All prices are HST inclusive. Separate arrangements for payment plans may be considered.

actKIDvity reserves the right to adjust/increase the bus fare through the year, if the cost of fuel surpasses the expected and estimated fuel price adjustments. In the event of increased fuel prices, a revised invoice, payable upon receipt, will be sent to all families.

Confirmation of your participation in this busing program must be received on or before August 10, 2023  to be considered registered for the 2023-2024 busing year.

For payment options, please visit our Registration page or kindly contact Abdul Sadiku ([email protected]) or at (613) 422-8914 (w)/ (613)716-2110 (c). 

Trip Duration

Each bus route is designed to take approximately one hour (or less) to and from school; times may vary depending on traffic and weather conditions. The bus routes are designed for door-to-door pickup and drop-off, to ensure safe, effective and efficient stops for groups of students. However, other arrangements can be explored, if feasible, for students residing in remote areas.

Inclement Weather

The bus will not run when the Ottawa Student Transport Authority and the Consortium de Transport Scolaire d’Ottawa (and for schools in Gatineau, the Western Quebec School Board WQSB) Student Transport Authority) makes the decision to cancel transportation services for the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board and the Ottawa-Catholic School Board (or the Western Quebec School Board WQSB - Gatineau/Hull/Chelsea area).

Registration

All regular riders are required to commit to a full year of ridership and as such the fees are non-refundable and non-transferable. Families must complete and return the Bus Registration Form either at the bottom of this page or by printing out/faxing the registration form in order to secure your child’s stop. 

Cancellation

In the unfortunate event that a student would like to cancel their transportation service during the school year, a two (2) month cancellation notice is required to enable the service re-work the schedule’s altered AM pick-up times and avoid disruption of the service for other students​.

Payment

We adhere strictly to a set timetable, therefore it is our policy that students must be waiting outside at their designated pick-up stop five minutes before departure times; check with your bus driver for the correct time, including afternoon departures from School. The bus driver’s time does not permit for students to be waiting in family vehicles, homes or on the playing field/court. Once students are on the bus they are required to remain there and wear a seat belt, until their destination is reached. Parents picking up their child/children must be waiting at their designated afternoon stop when the bus arrives. There is one return bus leaving from School @3:25-3:45M. Late pickup service, if applicable, can be arranged for an additional fee.

Rules and Regulations

Student Regulations apply (dress code, behaviour, unattended laptops, etc.)

Students must respect bus company drivers’ requests and/or instructions.

• Food and/or drinks are not to be consumed on the bus.
  
• All students are to remain seated and seat-belted at all times while the bus is in motion until the bus comes to a complete stop. 
  
• Do not ask the driver to change the bus route. Routes are determined prior to the school year to best accommodate all families.

Parents are asked to review the above requirements with your child/children, to enable the bus operation to run smoothly. 

The school recognizes and appreciates the excellent service of all our drivers who have taken a positive and friendly interest in the welfare of our students. 

Questions and concerns regarding the bus must be addressed directly to Abdul Sadiku ([email protected])

Parents and or students are encouraged to report any concerns, large or small, to Abdul Sadiku, [email protected]
