Eligibility and Conditional Riders
Applying for Yellow Bus Service
Edmonton Transit Service - Arc Cards
Edmonton Transit bus passes are available in our school office.
Arc cards are now being used at Division schools. Instead of showing a paper pass to the driver, students will use their Arc card to tap on and tap off ETS buses. The card acts as a permanent bus pass during the school year as long as the monthly pass fee is paid.
You must pay your monthly fees through the school to get the subsidized student rate which is $55.
GETTING AN ARC CARD
Students who are taking ETS to school for the first time will get an Arc card from the school office at the beginning of the year. Monthly bus pass fees must be paid in order for the card to work.
Students who already have an Arc card will continue to use it. You will not get a new card unless the original is lost or damaged.
USING AN ETS BUS PASS (Arc card)
ETS student bus passes allow unlimited travel with Edmonton Transit Service during the school year, including during statutory holidays.
Speed Limit
Our school community is very concerned about pedestrian safety around the school. We would ask parents who drive their children to school, to pick safety over convenience and only park where appropriate. We would also request that when you are driving near the school that you drive slowly and follow the rules of the road. Posted speed limit through the school zone is 30kmh. Further information can be found at EPS and New School Speed Limit.
AMA Patrollers
We are proud of our Johnny Bright grade 6 patrollers! Every year a new batch of grade 5 students are trained at the end of the school year. They shadow the current year's patrollers so that they are ready to take over in the Fall. Patrollers help keep our students and families safe on their way to and from school. More information can be found at AMA's website.
Due to the pandemic, there will be no patrollers for the 2020-2021 school year.
Safety in DropZone
We all share concerns about student safety and traffic around Johnny Bright School. In consultation with our City of Edmonton Bylaw officers and our School Council, the school administration team closed the drive-through zone during drop-off and pick-up times. The new drop-off zone is on Rutherford Road. Drivers must stay in their vehicles and pull forward as needed.
Our ultimate goal is to ensure that students are safe traveling to and from school. Thank you for your cooperation and continued support. Please ensure you are considerate and respectful to our neighbors if you park on the streets adjacent to or close to the school.
