Students living in Spectrum’s catchment area may be eligible for transportation services if they reside beyond the designated walk limit of 4.8 kms (3 miles).   New students and returning students must complete a school bus application form each school year.  Forms can be dropped off at the office.  If you have any questions, please call the school 250 479 8271.
