A reminder to parents that a First Time Rider event is coming to St. Thomas this week, offering new school bus riders and their families a chance to learn how to board, ride, and exit the bus safely before the school year begins.
This free program being offered by Southwestern Ontario Student Transportation Services is open to all first time bus riders across the Thames Valley and London District Catholic School Boards.
Parents are asked to preregister for the Thursday, August 14th event online and choose from the different sessions running between 5 and 6:30 p.m. at St. Joseph’s Catholic High School.
The 30-minute sessions will include a bus safety presentation followed by a short ride. That’s where parents and children can experience how to board, ride and get off the bus safely.
