General Announcements


Extended hours!

Transportation details available online, as of August 16! Extended hours (8 a.m. to 7 p.m.) from Aug. 16 to Sept. 3!

We no longer publish our bus routes in local newspapers. The fastest way to get transportation details is through the Student Login, using the Ontario Education Number (OEN), home address number, school and grade for the student in question. Click here to access our Student Login.

We also have extended our hours to provide information by telephone. Please call 472-8840 to speak with an NPSSTS representative; if all our representatives are busy, please leave only one message. If you prefer, send an e-mail to info@npssts.ca to be put in queue for a call. All phone and e-mail messages will be returned. Please be patient when trying to reach us, as our call and e-mail volume at this time of year is extremely high.
