Richmond Hill school dismissal times
Richmond Hill has 75 minutes between its first bell and its last. On the York Region District School Board profiles, Beverley Acres and Michaรซlle Jean dismiss at 2:20 and Bond Lake at 2:25. O.M. MacKillop and MacLeod’s Landing ring last, at 3:35.
The most common bell is 3:00, at six schools. A program that draws from a 2:20 school and a 3:30 school can use one vehicle for two runs.
The busiest bell is 3:00. When a program draws from several schools on the same bell, the route plan splits them between two vehicles or two runs.
The table covers 28 Richmond Hill elementary schools. Find yours, then look at the rows just above and below it. Schools that ring within 20 minutes of each other can share a route when they are also close on the map.

After-school shuttle service in Richmond Hill
These routes use real bell times. Pickup follows each bell by a few minutes, so students have time to reach the vehicle. Your own route is planned from your schools and your address.
South Richmond Hill route
Red Maple at 3:00, then Ross Doan and Charles Howitt at 3:30. At a program on Yonge Street by about 4:00.
Oak Ridges, two runs
Bond Lake at 2:25 and Lake Wilcox at 2:35, at your door by about 2:55. Then Kettle Lakes and Oak Ridges, both at 3:00, at your door by about 3:25.
Bayview Hill route
Richmond Rose at 3:05, then Bayview Hill at 3:30. At your door by about 3:50.
Neal Drive, two runs
Beverley Acres at 2:20, at your door by about 2:40. Then Walter Scott at 3:00 and Crosby Heights at 3:05, at your door by about 3:30.
School pickup and drop-off at Richmond Hill schools
Elementary schools release students only to an adult a parent has named. Before the first day, each parent tells the school office that your program’s driver is collecting their child, and you give us the list of children by school.
Ask each school which door your students should use and where a private vehicle may stop. We write both into the route plan, so the driver is at the same spot every day.
One driver is assigned to your route. Share the driver’s details with parents so they can add them at the school office.
York Region District School Board early-release times vary by school. Send us each school’s early-release dates and times, and the pickup moves with them.
Sharing an after-school shuttle in Richmond Hill
Two programs in the same Yonge Street plaza, or a few blocks apart on Bayview, can split one 14-seat Sprinter.
Shared by 14 children, the cost is about $32 each per run. Eight children from one program pay about $56 each. Each program is invoiced for its own seats.
Oak Ridges and the south end: two routes
Richmond Hill is long from south to north. Bond Lake and Lake Wilcox are in Oak Ridges, and Ross Doan and Charles Howitt are near the south end. One route should not try to cover both.
We keep each route to 2 or 3 schools within about 3 km. A program on Yonge Street in Oak Ridges gets an Oak Ridges route. A program near Highway 7 gets a southern one.
The bells differ too. Oak Ridges schools ring between 2:25 and 3:10, while the south-end schools named here ring at 3:00 and 3:30.
Van service for Richmond Hill programs
Ten students in one Sprinter is a common starting point. The rate per run is from approximately $450, so each seat costs about $45 a run before HST and gratuity.
On a 3-day week that is about $135 per child per week, or about $540 per child over a four-week month. Fill the other four seats, alone or with a nearby program, and the same month costs about $386 per child.
A Richmond Hill program with 6 students or fewer can start in an SUV instead, from approximately $180 a run plus HST and gratuity.
All figures are approximate. Your written quote is the firm number.
What a Richmond Hill shuttle seat sells for
One Oak Ridges program that runs its own van prices the shuttle separately: $25 a week each way, or $50 for both directions. A martial-arts program in town publishes monthly fees of $399 to $499 with pickup included.
On a full Sprinter, five days of pickup cost your program about $161 per child per week before HST and gratuity. A 3-day week is about $96. These comparison prices come from program websites we read in November 2026.
The gap between those numbers is the decision. Some programs charge the shuttle at cost, and others absorb part of it to fill the 4:00 class.
School pickup for Richmond Hill daycare and tutoring
Tutoring centres
Academy for Mathematics and English has three Richmond Hill centres, Oxford Learning has three, and Kumon has several. Our search found more tutoring centres here than in any of the other four towns.
STEM, robotics and coding
Code Ninjas on Vogell Road runs small classes. An SUV for up to 6 children covers a first cohort from one or two schools.
Martial arts and sports
The Martial Arts Training Centre on Newkirk Road runs an after-school program. If your own vehicle is full or a school is off its loop, we run that school as a second route.
Arts and child care
Richmond Hill Art School and the town’s child care centres draw from many schools. A route helps when a school is beyond walking distance.
Richmond Hill after-school programs with pickup
Who is driving my child?
One driver is assigned to your route. Give parents the driver’s first name and the vehicle description from your route plan.
Does my child need a booster seat?
In Ontario a child under 8 who weighs 18 to 36 kg and is under 145 cm rides in a booster. Tell us how many of your students are under 8 and we plan their seating with your route.
What if my child is not at the pickup spot?
Agree a rule before the first day: how long the vehicle waits and who the driver calls. We write it into the route plan so every parent hears the same answer.
What about early dismissal and snow days?
School boards announce both. Send us the date and we move the pickup earlier or take the day off the plan.

Start Richmond Hill after-school transportation
- You send the form. School names, bell times, days and your address are enough.
- We send a route plan: the stop order, the pickup time at each school, the arrival time at your door and the vehicle, with the written quote.
- You confirm the plan and pay the first and last week. Your program collects a signed consent from each family and gives us the list of children by school.
- You tell each school office who is collecting your students. Schools release children only to people a parent has named, so this step belongs to you and the parents.
- We assign the driver and brief them on each school’s pickup spot and your door.
- On the first service day the driver works from your list at every school. After the first week we adjust the stop times if a bell runs late.
Richmond Hill after-school transportation
Every Richmond Hill route is planned from your schools’ bell times and your address. The plan names the stop order, the pickup time at each school, and the arrival time at your door.
Changes are simple. Add a school, a day or a second vehicle at the next month’s booking, and we reissue the route plan.
Every service day uses the same type of vehicle. Your rate per run covers the vehicle and the driver for the pickup window in your plan, and nothing starts until you have the price in writing.
- One driver assigned to your route and briefed on your schools and your door
- A 14-seat Mercedes Sprinter, an SUV for up to 6 children, or a sedan for a private ride
- One invoice to the program each month, not to parents
- Seating for younger children planned with your route
- Commercial insurance, with the certificate on request
- One driver assigned to your route
Programs in more than one town can see all five on our main after-school program transportation page. Booking for your own child instead? See our private driver for kids page.

3:00 is the busiest bell on the list, shared by 6 Richmond Hill schools: H.G. Bernard, Kettle Lakes, Oak Ridges, Red Maple, Silver Pines, Walter Scott. One vehicle cannot be at all of them at once, so a route takes the two or three that sit close together.

About 2 weeks after you confirm the plan. That covers the route plan, the vehicle and the driver’s briefing on your schools and your door.

The rate per run stays the same, because the price is per vehicle and not per child. Tell us before pickup so the driver does not wait at that school.

You are not charged for days you leave out when you book the month. Send us the York Region District School Board early-dismissal dates for your schools and we move those pickups earlier.

What about children who need a booster seat?
In Ontario a child under 8 who weighs 18 to 36 kg and is under 145 cm needs a booster seat. Tell us how many of your students are under 8 and we plan their seating with your route.
Are you insured to drive children for a program?
Yes. Every vehicle on a program route carries commercial insurance. Ask for the certificate with your written quote.
