Transportation Registration Announcement
BRSD Transportation is pleased to announce that bus registration for the 2024/25 school year opened at 9 a.m. on April 17, 2024, and will close at 4 p.m. on June 27, 2024.
The change in the registration window will allow for more timely notification of student bus assignments. This change also allows for better communication between schools, families and transportation department staff. Earlier route assignments help bus drivers to be fully prepared for the upcoming school year and adjust to any route changes that may occur.
Students from the City of Camrose and the Town of Tofield must register annually. For all other locations, students need to register only if this is the first time they have ridden a BRSD school bus, such as new students beginning Kindergarten.
Additionally, students that have had changes to their contact information, such as physical address or school of attendance, are required to register. If there are no changes to student contact information, rural students will automatically be included in the route plans for the upcoming school year, and there will be no need for them to register.
Applications for school of choice/cross boundary transportation will be available at 9 a.m. on May 1, 2024.
For more details and eligibility information, please visit www.brsd.ab.ca/families/transportation.

From May 13 - August 26 students can take advantage of the Sora Sweet Reads program. Sora Sweet Reads is designed for schools to encourage students to keep reading all year long. They are offering a collection of free, simultaneous-use ebooks (and select audiobooks) that spans grades K-12. These titles will be available to participating schools and prominently displayed in Sora so it’s easy for students to find their next sweet read.
Students can access Sora through the app or a computer website. They need to use their school email and password to log into their account. If logging in for the first time look for Battle River School Division as your school.
