Transportation for language programs
Parents of students who live outside of school boundaries and are selected for this program will be required to provide their own transportation to and from school for as long as the student participates in the program. In limited circumstances, students who live close to the school’s boundaries may be able to ride a bus if the bus is not full and the student is able to travel safely to a nearby stop for pickup/dropoff.
Transportation for magnet programs and programs of choice
Transportation is provided for students who live within Vancouver Public Schools’ boundaries.
