Bus Rider Behavior Rules
Parents bear the responsibility for transporting a child to and from
school. Being allowed to ride a school district provided bus is a
student privilege earned by following all bus ride rules. Riding a
bus is not an automatic student right. Students who cannot obey rules
and whose behavior or actions pose a safety threat to all other bus riders,
may be removed from the bus temporarily, or barred from bus use for the
school year.
1.
Be
on time, only at the designated school bus stop - help keep the bus
on schedule.
2.
Stay
off the road at all times while waiting for the bus.
3.
Be
careful in approaching the place where the bus stops. Do not move toward
the bus until the bus has been brought to a complete stop.
4.
Do
not leave your seat while the bus is in motion.
5.
Be
alert to a danger signal from the driver.
6.
Remain
in the bus in the event of a road emergency until instructions are given by
the driver.
7.
Keep
hands and head inside the bus at all times after entering and until leaving
the bus. Do not throw anything out the bus windows.
8.
Remember
that loud talking and laughing or unnecessary confusion diverts the
driver's attention and could result in a serious accident.
9.
Be
absolutely quiet when approaching a railroad crossing stop.
10. Treat
bus equipment as you would valuable furniture in your own home. Never
tamper with the bus or any of its equipment.
11. Assist
in keeping the bus safe and sanitary at all times. No eating or drinking is
allowed on the bus. No cans of soda may be taken onto the school bus.
12. Carry
no animals on the bus.
13. Keep
books, packages, coats, and all other objects out of the aisles.
14. Leave
no books, lunches or other articles on the bus.
15. Be
courteous to fellow pupils, and the bus driver.
16. Help
look after the safety and comfort of smaller children.
17. Do not
ask the driver to stop at places other than the regular bus stop. He is not
permitted to do this except by proper authorization from a school official.
18. Observe
safety precautions at discharge point.
19. Students
riding buses will be kept after school only if their parents are notified
by a teacher prior to the regular dismissal time. If parent contact cannot
be made, arrangements to stay after school should be scheduled by the
teacher and the bus riding student for the following clay.
20. The
"bus environment" is an extension of the "school
environment". Applicable behavior rules enforced at the school
will also be enforced on the school bus.
21. See the
"Bus Rider Conduct Notice" sheet.

Student misbehavior on a school bus or near the
point of the bus stops may result in a student not being allowed to
continue riding the school bus. Only designated bus riders may ride their
assigned bus. Students violating bus riding rules will be contacted via the
bus rider conduct notice slip.

Note:
Our school district may randomly video
tape students on school buses. These tapes may be made available to parents
of students who misbehave on the bus, for parents to view.
