Bus Behavior

Riding the bus is a privilege. We expect children riding the bus to behave in a polite and dignified manner.

There are five basic rules that all children are expected to follow when riding the school bus:

1. Always show the 3 R’s!
2. Remain seated and facing forward at all times.
3. Quiet talking is permissible.
4. Keep hands and feet to yourself (and inside the bus or isle).
5. No eating, drinking or chewing gum on the bus.

The safety of our children is of primary importance to us. Misbehavior, fighting or disobeying the bus driver can endanger the lives and safety of all passengers on the bus.

When a child misbehaves on the bus, the driver will fill out a bus Discipline Report that is then given to the administrator. The administrator will have a conference with the child, review the bus safety rules and remind the child of the consequences of continued misbehavior. A copy of the report is sent to the parent of the child. Each year the parent and student receive the Bus Transportation Handbook
