Bus Guidelines & Expectations for Students
The privilege of riding a school bus is contingent upon a student’s good behavior, observance of the student code of conduct, and established regulations for student conduct at bus stops and on-board buses.
These rules are designed for and will be enforced to help ensure the safety of all students and the driver while they are on the school bus. These rules apply to riding a route bus or field trip bus. Remember, riding the bus is a privilege, not a right!
The driver is in charge. Students should obey the driver’s instructions promptly and respectfully.
Standing, changing seats, or moving about while the bus is in motion places the student in an unsafe situation and will not be allowed.
Head and arms are to be kept inside the bus. Throwing objects out the window is dangerous to pedestrians and other vehicles and is not allowed.
Large objects, band instruments, or class projects must be held in the student’s lap to prevent problems for the other passengers. If these items are too large to be held, you should make other transportation arrangements.
GLASS and heavy metal objects can cause serious injury and should not be brought on the bus. This includes class projects.
Skateboards, skis & poles, scooters, etc., are not allowed on school vehicles that transport students.
Animals, weapons, or replicas of weapons are not permitted.
The use of any form of tobacco, alcohol, or drugs is not permitted. Eating and/or drinking on the bus are at the bus driver's discretion. Vandalism to the bus will be repaired, and the cost of repairs will be billed to the parties involved.
Profane language or gestures have no place on a school bus and will not be allowed.
Yelling or loud talking is very disruptive. Students must be quiet while the bus stops at or crosses railroad tracks.
Students shall board and depart from the bus only at their OWN school or at their designated stop unless WRITTEN permission from the parent, guardian, or the school is presented to the driver.
Students shall sit in their seats facing forward with the aisle always kept clear.
The driver may assign any or all students a designated seat. Devices can be played on the bus with the driver's permission. Any activity or behavior not listed but which endangers the bus or its passengers may result in a misconduct notice or suspension.
Failure by a student to follow these rules may result in the suspension of bus riding privileges.
Should a student’s behavior cause a problem on the bus that places the passengers and driver in an unsafe situation, the student may receive a Bus Conduct Report. If this occurs, the following procedure will need to be followed.
First Notice: The student will meet with the principal and complete a Bus Conduct Report. The principal will contact the parents, and a copy of the report will be mailed home. The report must be signed by a parent or guardian and returned to the principal before the student can ride the bus again. Should the student continue to cause a problem while on the bus, the driver may issue a second notice.
Second Notice: The student will be suspended from riding the bus for five school days. The student will meet with the principal and bus driver. A Bus Conduct Report will be sent home, and parents will be contacted. The report must be signed by the parent and returned to the principal. Continued misbehavior may result in the issuance of a third conduct report.
Third Notice: Receiving a third notice will result in the student's suspension from riding all school buses for the remainder of the semester. Notice of this suspension will be sent home with the student and forwarded to the parent.
