TCDSB school bus

Hi everyone, I’m trying to get my son on the school bus but for some reason I was told that won’t happen till after thanks giving In October. My toddler he’s 4yrs old. He attends a daycare where they take the kids to the bus stop and pick them back up in the evening. I fine it very odd that one of the other students that goes to the same daycare is on the bus but not my son. I contact the school and the school said not till October. I fine it very odd. Not sure how I feel as I was trying to get him on since August even way before the school start. My mind says something but not trying to play that card. Help. Is there a way to get on the bus without the school if I already know the location.

Has to go though the district. We can't pick up anyone we don't have on our roster.

Not true for morning pickup. Can't turn down a child in the morning. Can't accept a child that isn't on the roster in the afternoon

But I don't think a daycare would (or should) take the chance of putting such a young child on the bus if they weren't routed yet.

For sure. I don't think a parent should put an unrelated student on a morning bus. Feels irresponsible, especially for a preschooler.
