First Rider Program 2023-2024 School Bus Safety Training

Dear Parents/Guardians:

Student Transportation Service Consortium of Grey-Bruce (STSCGB) is excited to introduce the First Rider Program, a school bus safety initiative happening this summer, to familiarize young students and parents/guardians with school buses and safety rules.  It is especially beneficial for children riding the bus for the first time in September.  The program is a fun learning experience that covers bus safety rules and allows for questions.  You are invited to participate to ensure a positive and safe bus experience for your child.

Families are invited to watch the bus safety introduction video, which can be found by visiting the link below, before attending the in-person event.
