CBE Transportation Information
You may recall on April 8, families were informed that the CBE is expanding yellow bus service and adjusting walk zones for the upcoming school year. This is in response to Alberta Education’s School Transportation Amendment Regulation for student transportation that comes into effect on Sept. 1, 2025.
We are now sharing more information with families about walk zones and registering for transportation for the 2025-26 school year (“Phase 2”).
Instructions on locating a school walk zone on the Find a School Tool
- Type in the home address or search by school in the drop-down menu.
- Choose the program under Program Options.
- Click on the grade(s).
- Below the map, in the “Programs” column, click on the grade/program for your school.
- This will display the walk zone for your desired school/program.
May 21: Registration + Proposed Fees
- An email will be sent to eligible families about transportation registration and proposed fees.
- Transportation registration is available using MyCBE. (If families do not already have an account, click here to learn how to create one.)
- Families must register by Sunday, June 22, 2025 for students to be added to routes for the start of the next school year.
- Transportation can be cancelled with no financial impact by submitting the cancellation form by Sept. 30, 2025.
- Fees are due later in October. There are flexible payment options. Families can apply for waivers if they cannot afford to pay fees.
Bell Times Adjustment and Transportation for 2025-26
Alberta Education’s School Transportation Amendment Regulation means the travel distance (1.6 km for K-6) must now be calculated by the driving distance from a student’s home to the front door of the school. Changes to walk zones across the CBE have resulted in school bell time adjustments to accommodate increased in transportation.
Woodlands’ bell times for 2025-26 will be:
Morning | Afternoon | Early Dismissal |
8:35 AM | 3:07 PM | 12:40 PM |
