Transportation

St. Paul Education transports over 1800 students throughout the Division. 40% of our buses are Division-owned and 60% are contract operators. Approximately 1.5 million km are logged annually.

All students who want to take the bus to and/or from school need to complete an application on a yearly basis. This includes students who ride a rural bus. Please note that rural and town riders who have registered for busing the previous school year will not be carried over to the following year without a new bus application.

  • Bus transportation applications are available through the school registration process. If families do not apply for busing at the time of registration, they can do so at a later date by logging into the Powerschool Parent Portal and selecting School Engage. Note: Town of St. Paul In-Town Busing is on a first come first serve basis and subject to seat availability, therefore early registration is encouraged. 
  • Bus applications received prior to August 23, 2023 will be processed immediately. Applications received after August 23, 2023, may result in a wait time for students/children accessing a school bus in the fall.
  • Approved busing applications will receive an email confirmation with further details.
  • To arrange busing for students residing on the Nations of Frog Lake, Saddle Lake, and Whitefish Lake, please contact the Nation directly. (Frog Lake Cree Nation - (780)943-3737, Saddle Lake Cree Nation Band Office - (780)726-3829, Whitefish Lake First Nation #128 Band Office - (780)636-7000​)

Occasional Bus Service

For the safety of your child(ren), it is important for us at St. Paul Education to know each passenger riding our fleet of school buses. Therefore, non-regular passengers are not permitted to ride our school buses without prior consent from St. Paul Education Transportation Department. Please note that special busing requests for birthday parties, sleepovers, etc will not be approved.

If you have any questions regarding transportation, or would like support with bus registration, please call our Transportation Department at 780-645-3323.
