Transportation to and from school can be carried out safely only if there is complete cooperation between guardians, students and drivers. The bus drivers are responsible for their passengers. They must be as free as possible to devote their full attention to driving safely. Any distractions caused by passengers makes the job more difficult and compromises the safety of all.
For the safety of passengers, the following rules must be followed: *Observe classroom conduct. Riding the bus is a privilege and an extension of the school day. The driver and all passengers must be treated with respect.
*Students must enter and exit the bus in an orderly manner. No pushing, shoving or fighting. Keep hands and feet to yourself.
*Be courteous, no shouting, no yelling, and no foul language.
*Students must remain in their seats. No standing, changing seats, or moving about while the bus is moving.
*Do not eat or drink on the bus.
*The bus must be respected and treated with care. Throw any trash in the garbage and not on the floor. Vandalism of any type will not be tolerated.
*Keep head, hands, and feet inside the bus.
*Wait to cross the street and/or approach the bus only after it has stopped, the driver has put on the flashing lights and has signaled to cross.
