List of bus & bus stop rules

Parents/Guardians: Please review behavior expectations with your children weekly.  Warm weather is still here and we want to maintain the safety of our students and bus drivers. 

Riding the school bus is a privilege that can be revoked when students decide to act inappropriately while riding the bus to and from school (including bus stops designated by the school system). 

A student can loose their ability to ride the bus from one day to as many days as the administration feels may be needed in order to correct the negative behavior being demonstrated while riding the bus.  Privileges can be revoked upon the first referral depending on the severity/nature of the infraction.

In any case, it would be the responsibility of the parent/guardian to transport their child or children to and from school for the duration of the bus suspension.  During the bus suspension, students are not allowed to ride any school bus.

All students: When necessary, we will announce concerns pertaining to overall behaviors while children walk to and from school, wait at their bus stops or ride a bus. 

Children need to keep their hands, feet and belongings to themselves.  Children need to walk on the sidewalks and not the street.  Children need to make sure they are not horse-playing or pushing others from the sidewalk and into the street!

Once something occurs on the bus or the bus stop, all students need to make sure they report any bus concerns or issue to their driver immediately so that issues can be addressed accordingly.

Please focus on bus stop behaviors and lining up along the sidewalk (or designated area) while waiting for your bus to arrive.  No pushing or playing! 

As always, we realize that not every child is involved in this type of behavior.  Please discuss safety expectations with your child throughout the school year.
