Parent(s)/Guardian(s) information

• Students are held to the same level of conduct as in the classroom.

• Follow the directions of the bus driver at all times.

• Students wishing to have other students come to their homes must have a written note from their parent/guardian giving them permission. Or approval from the buildings principal. Phone calls and Text messages are NOT acceptable.

• Students are expected to be on time. The bus cannot wait for late boarders.

• Once a student is on the bus, he/she will remain on the bus until their designated stop.

• If a parent/guardian needs to get their student off the bus, they must do so before the bus leaves the school.

To assure students safe transportation, the District requires students to engage in appropriate conduct, to respect school personnel and to respect other students. A student is to behave appropriately when waiting at a bus stop, loading onto a bus, riding a bus, unloading from a bus and when departing from a bus stop. Failure to abide by school rules, show proper respect to others and comply with the requests of school personnel may result in a student being issued a School Bus Citation Report and possible suspension of bus riding privileges.
