Rules for Riding the Bus

Parents: Please go over the following rules with your children so they know what is expected when they ride a school bus. We ask that you help them understand that riding a school bus is a privilege.
  • Politely load and unload YOUR school bus. BE SAFE, NO pushing, shoving or rushing the door.
  • Be on time to keep YOUR bus on schedule. Hurrying to the bus creates an unsafe situation for YOU!
  • Stay seated and out of the aisle for YOUR safety. “Back to back, seat to seat, feet toward the floor” AND NEVER put or throw ANYTHING out of the windows!

Be Respectful:

  • Listen and follow directions from YOUR School Bus Driver and other adults.
  • Toward your fellow passengers and others in and around YOUR school bus.
  • Talk quietly using nice and proper words.
  • Keep YOUR school bus clean! NO eating, drinking or smoking on the bus.

Electronic Devices:

  • No disruptive use of smart/cell phones or other electronic devices.
  • No picture taking or recording of others on the bus.
  • Phones should only be used for messages to your parents or in an emergency during your time on the bus.
