Westmount Charter School is committed to the operation of a fee-based, cost-effective, efficient and safe bus service for our students. Students in kindergarten to grade 6 who reside more than 1 km from their attending school have the option of using the bus service as well as those students from grade 7-12 who live more than 2 km from their attending school. Students may be full, or part-time riders. Part time riders must ride either in the mornings or the afternoons only. Please note that the priority goes to the full time rider.
Stops are located within Calgary city limits only. Approximately 45% of our school population ride the bus and 51% of our school population will be receiving Parent Provided Funding (PPF) for driving their kids to and from school. This is an initiative from the Alberta Provincial government.
Westmount does not serve areas surrounding the schools nor many of the newer outlying communities. There are also several neighborhoods we do not serve such as the downtown core, Inglewood and south of the Bow River to 17 Ave. Should you have questions regarding your neighbourhood please direct them to Transportation Services at: schoolbus@westmountcharter.com
While we want to provide walkable bus stops for our students, Westmount’s busses are unique due to the fact that they service the entire City of Calgary. It is very important that the students are riding the bus for a reasonable amount of time on a daily basis. For this reason, we are unable to guarantee a bus stop within a certain distance of a student’s home.

What can an IPP do for your child? An effective IPP is one that increases the understanding of a students’ learning needs and strengths, provides a snapshot of effective strategies and/or accommodations and enhances communication between teachers, parents and students.
