Lunch Supervision

CBE schools provide students in Grades 1-6 or in full-day kindergarten with the option of staying at school for lunch. If students opt to stay at school, they are required to pay for noon supervision service. This service provides students the opportunity to practice social skills supported by caring adult supervision.

The program requires registration and there is a fee to participate. A waiver process is in place for families who cannot afford to pay fees.

For more information, visit our Lunch Supervision page.

Registration Information

Please visit our How to Register page for all registration details and registration forms.

Our school office opens on Aug. 29, 2022 for registration.

​​​​Yellow School Bus Tra​nsportation

Yellow school bus routes for the 2022-23 school year are created o​ver the summer and based on the addresses submitted before the pre-registration deadline in June. Transportation continues to accept registrations after the deadline; however, students are added to the closest existing stop with available space. Processing times could be up to six weeks at the beginning of the school year due to volume.

More information about 2022-23 transportation service levels and proposed fees are posted on the CBE website.

Your bus stop location and time will be available in your MyCBE account by mid-August.

Conditional riders can also register using MyCBE. Applications will be considered after eligible riders registrations have been processed.
