Bus Expectations

• Please have students at their bus stop at least 10 minutes early to help routes stay on schedule.
• Students should wait for the driver’s signal before crossing in front of the bus.
• For the safety of our youngest riders, students in Pre-K through first grade must be met by a parent or guardian when exiting the bus in the afternoon, in accordance with Policy EEAB-RZ.

To ensure a safe and comfortable ride for all students:

• Belongings should fit on a student’s lap and not take up additional seat space.
• Students should remain seated while the bus is in motion and keep feet out of the aisle.
• Students should never extend their arms, hands, or heads out of bus windows.
• Voices should be kept at a reasonable volume to help drivers stay focused.
• Help keep buses clean by avoiding food and drinks.
• Oversized items, live animals, and glass objects should not be brought onto the bus.

Students are also expected to follow School Board Policy JFC while riding the bus. This outlines student conduct expectations and prohibits bullying, smoking, drug use, and profane or obscene language or conduct. Any policy violations will result in appropriate disciplinary action being taken.
