Download the Bus Status App

You want to stay on top of any busing delays or cancellations, and we want you to, too. Sturgeon Public Schools uses the Box Clever Bus Status App to give parents and caregivers a simple and accessible way to make sure they're notified of any changes in the status of their students' bus routes immediately. The app is available on the App Store for Apple devices and the Google Play Store for Android devices. iPhone users must be running iOS version 11.0 or later to use the app properly. 

The Bus Status App allows you to keep track of any busing delays or cancellations, and receive push notifications for just the bus routes that matter to you.  

Transportation Permission Form

If your student is planning on taking a different bus home, please fill out the Transportation (Bus) Permission form found here:  Transportation Permission Form Bus Permission Slip

This form must be signed by a parent or guardian, as well as a member of the Office Staff, and then provided to the bus driver.

We are making changes to this process to simplify the process for students and parents and to align with other schools within the district.

If a student needs to ride a different bus at the end of the day, we ask that the following steps be followed: 

  1. Ensure you are a paid rider on a bus route. 
  2. Parent/Guardian to print and complete the Bus Rider Permission Form at home the night before you require a different bus at the end of the next school day. (You can pick up paper copies at the school if needed, to take home.) 
  3. Drop the completed form off at the office before block one; pick it up at the end of the day. 

If you have any questions, please contact the school. Email: schs@sturgeon.ab.ca

PLEASE NOTE: We will ONLY accept bus permission forms filled out by parent/guardian for students to be able to ride an alternate bus. Last-minute requests may not be accommodated.
