Parent/Student Handbook
BUSSING
Parents are asked to notify bus drivers if their child will not be riding the school bus in the morning and/or afternoon.
RULES OF CONDUCT
- Students have a right to ride on the bus to and from their school in a safe and quiet manner.
- Students have a right to carry on quiet conversations with other students in their assigned seated area.
- Students may eat on the bus with the driver’s permission.
- Students are expected to place garbage in the appropriate containers located on the bus.
- Students may play their radios or tape players if they use the appropriate earplugs or headphones.
- Students will be assigned to a set by the bus driver and will sit in their assigned seat when riding to and from the school.
- Skate blades and other sharp objects must be covered by protective guards or transported in an appropriate case.
- Students are expected to exhibit behavior that would be acceptable in a classroom.
- Students are expected to be on time for loading and discharge.
- The principal may suspend from the bus any student who misbehaves while riding the school bus. (Section 19(2)(iv) of the School Act)
NOTE: The driver may inform students who exhibit unacceptable behavior that they will not be picked up the next morning. In such a case the driver must complete an “Infraction Form”. The driver will make every effort to inform the principal of his/her actions. Copies of this form will be sent to the parent or guardian to the principal.
The intent of this policy is to provide safe transportation to and from the school. The safety of our children is of the utmost importance and we will not tolerate any behavior that compromises that safety.
