BUS EXPECTATIONS
Parents are responsible for the safety and behaviours of their children prior to bus pick-up and after disembarking from the bus at the end of the day. School bus transportation is a privilege, not a right. Students may be denied bus privileges for misconduct as outlined in our Code of Conduct.
Students are expected to:
-
arrive at least 10 minutes prior to the designated time at their bus stop.
-
students who miss their bus are not permitted to ride on another bus.
-
act in a safe and appropriate manner on the bus and at their bus stop
-
conduct themselves in such a way as to not create any disturbance to the driver
-
obey and take direction from the bus driver
-
respect the property of neighbours at the bus stop, by keeping off yards and driveways
-
remain seated during the entire trip to school or home
-
use low tones and appropriate language while riding on the bus (no yelling\screaming)
-
be held responsible and accountable for any damage they do to the bus
-
not eat and not drink while on the bus
-
get on and off the bus in an orderly manner.
-
be seated during the entire trip to school or home
-
keep all of themselves and any belongings inside the bus at all times
Fighting, profanity, spitting and disrespect to the driver are forbidden and subject to immediate disciplinary action. Students may ride only on the bus to which they have been assigned. The use of an alternate bus may only occur when prior arrangements have been made with the school office, and providing there is space available on the bus. Students are expected to adhere to the behavioural expectations as outlined in the Student Code of Conduct.
