Transportation

Transportation to and from Riverdale

Riverdale makes use of the school bus system provided by the Lester B Pearson school board. Busses drop students off at Riverdale at approximately 8:45, and leave about 10-15 minutes after the final bell, around 3:45.

Remember some important tips about using the school bus

• Always be at the bus stop 10 minutes early.
• Wait for the bus to come to a complete stop, then board the school bus in single file, in an orderly fashion, using the handrail.
• Find your assigned seat quickly without pushing other students. Keep the aisle clear.
• Remain seated, talk quietly. Do not eat, drink or leave trash on the bus.
• Always listen to the driver's instructions.
• Never put your head or arms out of the windows.
• Know where the emergency exits are but DO NOT tamper with them.
• When getting off, wait until the bus comes to a complete stop before leaving your seat. Descend in a single file.
• Walk a safe distance from the bus so that the driver can see you and know that you are out of danger.
• If you need to cross in front of the bus, keep a safe distance and watch for the driver's signal. Do not run.
• Proceed with caution.
