Register for next year yellow bus service – Deadline June 14, 2026:
You must apply by Sunday, June 14, 2026 for your child/ren to be added to routes for the start of the next school year. CBE will continue to accept registrations after the deadline; however, students are added to the closest existing bus stop with available space. Processing times for registrations submitted after the June 14 deadline will be delayed. It may take until mid-October before your child is able to ride the bus.
Confirmed routes will be posted in MyCBE in August.
Estimated annual cost for G1-5 is $500.00 and Kindergarten (one way) $285.00. Families can cancel with no financial impact by submitting a cancellation form by Sept. 30, 2026.
