Bus Guidelines

Bus Guidelines

  • Arrive at the bus stop ten minutes before the scheduled time.
  • Wait on the sidewalk or the area closest to the curb until the bus comes to a full stop (NOTE: sitting in a car or standing in the house or garage is not considered "at the bus stop").
  • Behave appropriately at the bus stop.
  • Board the bus orderly, and remain seated with your seat belt on.
  • Every student will have an assigned bus seat. All students are expected to remain in their assigned seats for the duration of their time on the bus.
  • Wear your seat belt.
  • Eating, drinking, or throwing objects on the bus is prohibited.
  • Books, lunches, backpacks, and body parts are to remain in your seat, not the aisle or another seat.
  • Show respect for the school bus and refrain from any activity that may result in damaging or defacing the school vehicle.
  • Never lean out of the bus window or extend any body part out of the window.
  • Nothing should ever be thrown from the bus window.
  • Follow the Bus Driver's directions.
  • Always ride your assigned bus.
  • Speak softly using appropriate language.
  • An approved adult must be present to meet Preschool and Kindergarten students at the bus stop. An approved adult is a parent/guardian or an emergency contact listed in your child's Student Information sheet in Genesis. We must have written permission from you to release your child to anyone else, and that person must present proper identification. Otherwise, the bus driver must return your child to school, and you will be required to pick him/her up there.

18A:25-2. Authority over pupils

“The driver shall be in full charge of the school bus at all times and shall be responsible for order; (driver) shall never exclude a pupil from the bus, but, if unable to manage any pupil, shall report the unmanageable pupil to the principal of the school which he attends. A pupil may be excluded from the bus for disciplinary reasons by the principal and his parents shall provide for his transportation to and from school during the period of such exclusion.”
