Following is information on last year's program. We are currently evaluating the program we are able to offer in 2020-21; watch for updates in July.
Dawson is pleased to offer the Greenride bus program again for the 2019-20 school year. Our centralized bus system continues to be fast, fun, safe, and convenient, not to mention time saving and affordable too! Dawson offers to all of its families a centralized-stop bus program that is convenient and, with the flat fee structure, affordable. We believe that this program is both time and cost effective for parents, students, and the school.

Permission to ride the bus: Bus drivers may not transport any unauthorized passengers. If a student not regularly assigned to a bus needs a ride, written permission in the form of a note or an email from the student’s parent must be sent to the school in advance. If a student needs to ride the bus and does not have a note or email from his or her parent, authorization must be obtained from the appropriate divisional office at Dawson. A bus driver will not transport a student without written authorization from a parent. Parents need to complete authorization as part of SchoolDoc documents.
