Transportation for AFNORTH International School (AIS) students is provided within pre-determined commuting areas. Maps of these areas may be found in the AIS Bus Coordinator’s Office (Room c1.2), the SCHINNEN and HQ JFC housing offices.
SERVICES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE, PLEASE CHECK WITH THE BUS COORDINATOR PRIOR TO DECIDING ON A HOME.
SCHOOL BUS TRANSPORTATION IS A PRIVILEGE, NOT A RIGHT.
We rely on parents and guardians to teach their children proper behavior. Accordingly, school bus rules will be strictly enforced. Students not complying with the school rules may have their riding privileges suspended or revoked and repeated offenders may have their riding privileges revoked for the rest of the school year. When this happens, sponsors will have to make their own arrangements for their children to get to school according to established school hours.
ELIGIBILITY FOR SERVICE.
One round trip to and from school may be provided to students enrolled in AIS based on the following prerequisites:
You reside OUTSIDE of the walking area of school and WITHIN the designated commuting area of school.
If you CHOOSE to live OUTSIDE of the commuting area then transportation is AT YOUR OWN EXPENCE to the school or an existing bus stop within the commuting area.
When requested by the sponsor/parent or guardian, transportation may be provided to and or /from an alternate care provider such as a community day care centre located WITHIN THE COMMUTING AREA.
THE STANDARD WALKING DISTANCE IS UP TO ONE KILOMETER ONE WAY FOR ALL STUDENTS.
By registering for school bus transportation, sponsors are acknowledging responsibility for providing true and correct information. In the event that incorrect information has been given, school bus privileges may be withdrawn.
