The transportation department of the Sir Wilfrid Laurier School Board is responsible for organizing the bus schedule for Joliette Elementary School.
Most of our students travel by bus which may include several transfers provided by both Sir Wilfrid Laurier School Board and la Centre de service scolaire des Samares.
Additionally, we would like to remind you of the importance of reinforcing safety guidelines with your children. Emphasizing the need to remain seated, the bus driver’s instructions, and treat fellow passengers with respect helps maintain a secure and pleasant environment for everyone.

- Poor weather or a change in bus drivers can delay bus arrival – WAIT PATIENTLY!
