School District 59

Due to unforeseen circumstances within SD # 59 Transportation department and a shortage of qualified School Bus drivers, some school bus routes may have to be cancelled for a period of time if no school bus drivers are available.

We will endeavor to provide as much advance notice as possible.

If there are any people that are interested in becoming a School Bus driver, please contact SD # 59 HR Department for more information.

SD59 requires casual, part-time bus drivers to serve routes in Dawson Creek and surrounding rural areas. Find more information at Support Employment Listings.

Thank you for your patience and understanding during this time.

Kindergarten Registration: What do parents need to know? Children attend Kindergarten in the same year that they turn five years old. The first step for everyone is to register with your neighbourhood catchment school or in one of the Schools of Choice: Ecole Frank Ross French Immersion, and Don Titus Montessori. Bring supporting documentation, along with your child, to your neighbourhood English catchment school.

The following original documents must be presented at your catchment school to complete your application:

• Proof of British Columbia residency with address
• BC Care Card Number
• Birth certificate of the child or other government issued identification
• Applicable Immigration/Citizenship/Permanent Resident Documentation
