Please note cancellations cannot be completed verbally, all cancellations must be in writing to the Division transportation department using the Parent Portal forms.
Will I receive a refund if I cancel my child's busing?
If you cancel prior to the first day of school and have paid your busing fees, you will receive a full refund.
