Student safety while riding school buses is a shared responsibility between students, parents, bus drivers, and school officials. Since riding a school bus is a privilege, students are required to follow rules. Failing to cooperate may result in parents having to provide transportation. Cameras are in operation on buses for safety purposes.
- Ride only the bus to which you are assigned. Board and get off at your designated stop. In extreme emergencies, only the principal may authorize a change.
- Wait quietly at the bus stop, off the road, and away from traffic
- Board buses in an orderly fashion and quickly select or proceed to your assigned seat. Bus seats are designed for three (3) students to a seat. Do not reserve seats for friends.
- Talk quietly so the driver is able to hear traffic sounds. Talking is not permitted when the bus is at a railroad crossing.
- Get permission before opening windows and keep your hands, head, books, and other articles inside the bus.
- Stay seated at all times and stand only when the bus comes to a complete stop.
- Keep the aisles clear.
- Do not hit or push other students.
- Smoking is prohibited.
- Students should arrive at the bus stop at least 5 minutes before the scheduled arrival for the bus.
- Arrival times of the bus may vary according to weather and traffic conditions.
- Thank you for your cooperation!
