Rider Rules and Regulations
< Back
Student safety is always our primary concern. Therefore, behavior expectations of the students riding the school bus are comparable to that which is required in the classroom. The bus driver carries the responsibility of ensuring students a safe ride and is authorized to enforce the ridership rules. Please read the following rules and procedures with your child to help ensure the safety of everyone riding the bus. Each pupil who rides a bus will be expected to behave in a manner which will make the ride safe and pleasant for passengers and driver and keep the bus on schedule.
The school administrator or bus driver has the authority to assign riders to designated seats. The School District approves the use of video/audio recording on school buses for the purpose of reducing disciplinary problems and vandalism, thereby allowing the driver to focus primarily on driving the bus.
The school bus rider will:
-
Ride only on assigned routes and utilize only assigned stop locations.
-
Be expected to promptly obey the driver. Refusal to obey the driver shall be sufficient reason for being denied transportation services.
-
Be seated promptly and remain seated while the bus is in motion. Students may be required to sit three to a seat.
-
Show respect for all other passengers.
-
Be allowed to bring a maximum of one backpack, or similar-sized container on the bus as he or she rides the bus to and from school. Students who also need to transport musical instruments may do so.
-
Not transport roller blades, skateboards, or scooters on buses.
-
Conform to the same standards of cleanliness on the bus as expected of them at school. Damage done to the seats or other bus equipment by the rider must be paid for by the rider or his/her parents or guardian.
-
Not extend head, limbs, and other objects out of the window or into the aisle.
-
Not use profane or indecent language on the bus.
-
Not bring animals, firearms, explosives, flammable materials, slingshots, knives or other sharp objects on the bus.
