TRANSPORTATION FOR LOGOS STUDENTS IN ELK ISLAND PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Within Elk Island Public Schools (EIPS), the Logos Program falls under the scope of an Alternative Program and therefore students enrolled in this program are deemed to be attending a non-designated school. Transportation for students attending a non-designated school may be available, but an ineligible transportation fee will apply. If the Logos Program school the student is attending is his/her designated school but the student lives less than 2.4 km from it, an ineligible transportation fee will also apply for transportation services. For all students whose Logos Program school is their designated school, and they live 2.4km or more from it, an eligible transportation fee will apply.

Transportation fee information is available on the EIPS website.

For further information or to find out if busing is available from your home address to your Logos Program school, contact Student Transportation at 780-417-8151. Information is also available at www.eips.ca/transportation.
