BUS RIDERS

Student dismissal to the buses will be directed over the intercom. Students are to remain in the classroom until their bus is called (Bus Routes). Once the student has boarded the bus, he/she will not be allowed to leave the bus.

Every bus student must ride the bus home in the afternoon unless written or verbal permission from the parent has been received at the school office. Transported students are always transported by bus until we are notified of a change.
Children who are not bus-transported students are not permitted to ride the buses.
Transported students are not allowed to change buses or bus stops until the reason for the change has been cleared through the school office and the change approved by the principal, or the coordinator of transportation.
Students will not be allowed to ride a different bus than the one regularly assigned.

The same discipline is maintained on the bus as in the classroom. Riding the bus is a privilege. Students who fail to maintain appropriate behavior may be suspended from the bus.
