Bus Rules/ Bus Safety Riding a school bus is a privilege. With this privilege comes responsibility for good conduct, proper care of the bus and respect for the rights of others. Parents can best assist teachers and bus drivers by being familiar with the bus rules: Your driver has absolute control of the bus and of the conduct of those on it. You are expected to obey your driver. If you must cross the street when boarding or leaving the bus, WALK IN FRONT OF THE BUS. Look both ways before crossing the road. Enter and leave by the front door. The rear door is for emergency use only. Do not touch it except in the case of an emergency. Promptly take the seat assigned to you. Sit facing forward. Keep your hands, arms, legs, and head away from the window. Keep feet, legs, and books out of the aisle. Do not eat on the bus. Help your driver keep the bus clean. Cooperate during a bus emergency drill. Ordinary conversation is permissible. Cellphones, electronic devices, and toys are prohibited from the bus. Follow our SNAP (Safe Noble Able & Prepared) and Roll Expectations and you will have a safe passage to and from school. Scholars who fail to abide by the bus rules will be disciplined. Bus drivers have the right to suspend a scholar from riding the bus for a period of one day. Administration may suspend scholars for additional days. Parents will be notified of bus suspensions before they go into effect by an administrator or the driver. If a child arrives at school on the bus, they will be allowed to ride the bus home.
