Children are not allowed to take any bus other than the one they are assigned to ride. This is a safety precaution. Our buses are running at or near capacity. There will be no exceptions to this rule. Growth of student population and cost of transportation and state regulations require adherence to the transportation procedures.

Bus Suspension

Parents are reminded that satisfactory conduct is expected of pupils who ride on school buses and that the administration is authorized to remove any pupil who, in their opinion, does not maintain a reasonable standard of conduct. The parents will be notified in advance of such removal, together with the period of time involved. By law, it is then the parents obligation to transport the child to and from school. Conduct standards also apply to bus stops and in second run bus rooms/playground.

Our Bus Safety Program and Rules require all students to cooperate with the bus driver. Be sure to review our "Code of Conduct" with your child.

 

General Rules

1. Keep feet out of the aisle and on the floor while riding the bus.

2. Keep all parts of your body inside the bus.

3. Keep belongings on your lap and out of the aisle

4. Littering is unacceptable behavior.

5. Remain in original seats unless given permission to move by the bus driver.

6. Keep the noise down and voices reasonably quiet.

 

Field Trips

It is the policy to take children on field trips only with permission from parents. When a trip is being planned, permission slips will be sent home for the approval of parents. Children who have not returned these forms are not permitted to accompany the class.

Children who are eligible for free or reduced lunch are not required to pay for field trips.
