Buses

Each child must ride his/her designated bus and will not be permitted to change buses without permission from the office.  A change in the method of a student’s transportation requires written notification and approval; otherwise, the child will be transported home in his/her usual manner.  Approval will not be given for a student to change buses in order to go home with friends or attend a non-school meeting.           

For safety reasons, it is absolutely necessary for each and every student to obey their bus driver.  When a student cannot follow the rules on the bus, the Administration has the right to suspend him/her from riding the bus.  It then becomes the obligation of the parent to transport the student to and from school.  

The Bus Rules are:

            1.  The driver is in full charge of the bus and students must obey
   the driver.

            2.  Students shall sit in their assigned seats at all times, with
   their head and arms inside the bus.

            3.  Eating, drinking, using tobacco products or chewing gum WILL
   NOT
be allowed on the bus.                                          

            4.  Anything that interferes with student safety will not be
   allowed.  This includes:  fighting, profanity, abusive language,
   toy guns and knives, large or sharp objects, fireworks, ball
   bats, radios, tape players, animals, glass containers, etc.

            5.  Students bringing toy guns or knives on the bus will be
   subject to suspension. 

School Policy for Bus Referrals is as follows:

            1st Referral: The student will receive a verbal warning and counseling on the bus rules. 

            2nd Referral: The student will receive a verbal reprimand and the parents will be called and notified by mail. 

            3rd Referral:  The student will be suspended from riding the bus for one day and the parents will be called and notified by mail. 

            Subsequent Referrals: The student will be suspended from riding
   the bus one additional day for each subsequent referral and the
   parent will be called and notified by mail.
