Bruce-Grey Catholic District School Board

Bluewater District School Board, Bruce-Grey Catholic District School Board and Shared School Services are pleased to share that an agreement in principle has been reached with our bus operators. As such, student transportation will proceed as normal for the start of the school year in September!

✅ Important: families must opt in for transportation for each child through the Edulog Parent Portal App. Students will not be assigned to a bus route unless this step is completed.

Thank you to our bus operators, staff, and families for your patience throughout this process. We're looking forward to a great start to the school year!

Together, Bluewater District School Board, Bruce-Grey Catholic District School Board and Shared School Services are working to ensure reliable student transportation for the beginning of the school year.

Despite our continued efforts, we have not yet reached a resolution with our bus operators. We want to be transparent with families: bus service may not be available for all students at the start of the school year in September. As a result, families should be prepared to arrange alternative transportation for their children if needed.

We recognize and understand the challenges this may present for our families and are committed to keeping families informed as this situation develops.

Today we celebrate the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

This special feast day commemorates the moment Mary, at the end of her earthly life, was taken body and soul into heavenly glory. As the Mother of Jesus and patroness of humanity, Mary serves as a guiding light of faith, humility, and steadfast trust in God's promises. Her Assumption offers us a beautiful sign of hope and a promise of eternal life.

In our Catholic schools, we look to Our Lady as our ultimate model of discipleship, learning from her resounding "Yes" to God's call in our daily lives.

Guided by our faith, we are committed to empowering our youth to use their God-given gifts to serve others and lead with love.

"Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity." — 1 Timothy 4:12

Today we look up to the stars for Space Exploration Day, marking the anniversary of the historic 1969 Moon landing.

As a Catholic community, exploring the universe is a beautiful way to marvel at the sheer scale of God’s creation. This day also celebrates the courage of explorers, including Canada's own astronauts who have made outstanding contributions to science and technology using innovations like the Canadarm.

Our curiosity about distant galaxies reminds us to cherish the beauty of our own home planet and act as faithful stewards of the Earth.
