BUS RULES: 

Drivers communicate the bus rules with students at the beginning of the school term and/or periodically when necessary to ensure the bus is operated in accordance with the rules.  We ask that you also go over the rules with your children as they may listen to this easier at home where they may not be distracted while discussing them.

All students are to follow school rules while going to the bus stop, while on the bus, and when walking home from their bus stop.

The following infractions by any students on the bus will be dealt with in writing to the building principal, may be given an assigned seat, and/or dismissed from riding privileges (principal’s decision) dependent on the infraction at any time.

• Fighting, Pushing/Shoving, or Tripping
• Profanity, Racial Slurs, Belittling, Bullying
