School Bus Safety and Discipline
If your child is the recipient of any verbal or physical abuse,
please report the incident immediately to your school principal.
If possible, include bus number, bus driver's name, and time of
day. The principal will then conduct a follow up investigation and
report back to the parent the disposition of the incident.
We are proud of the fine job our dedicated bus drivers perform
each day. Drivers attend safety and first aid meetings throughout
the year to better equip themselves to cope with daily problems.
Please help our school bus drivers do a better job by acquainting
your child with the following rules:
- Be at bus stop 5 minutes before scheduled time
- Stay on side of road while awaiting bus
- Enter the bus calmly and safely
- Greet driver with appropriate greeting
- Take seat immediately; students may be assigned seats by
the driver
- Once seated, remain seated until destination is reached
- Keep feet out of aisles
- Talking, not shouting, is permitted
- No large parcels allowed on bus
- Cross road 15 feet in front of bus
- Respect, obey bus driver at all times
- Follow proper crossing procedures
Important: Bus schedules are not available on this website.
Each student will receive a bus pass indicating transportation
status--bus stop, time of pick-up and return. On the first day of
school the student should present this pass to the driver of the
bus. Students may only ride on the bus assigned to them.
