Bus Expectations

Each school day our bus drivers are committed to providing safe and dependable transportation for our students. In order for this to happen, we rely on a partnership between the driver and the students. Please help support school bus safety by reviewing these bus safety rules with your children.


  • Students should be at the bus stop at least 10 minutes before their scheduled pick up time. They should stand quietly while the bus is approaching and not move toward the bus until it has come to a complete stop. There should be no pushing, shoving, picking or fighting at any bus stop.

  • Elementary students are not allowed to have electronic devices out and in use on the school bus (CCS policy)

  • Students must sit in their assigned seats with their bottom on the bottom of the seat, back against the back of the seat, and book bags and hands in their lap.

  • No food or drinks (except bag lunches that remain closed) are allowed on the bus. Gum, toys, playing cards, radios, etc. are not allowed.

  • Students must comply with ALL directions from the driver.

  • Students may only ride a bus to which they are assigned. A note from a parent does not give a student permission to ride a bus on which the child is not on the bus roster per state guidelines. Cabarrus County School policy prohibits students from riding home with friends.

Students who are referred to the office for misbehavior will meet with an administrator. Students demonstrating serious misbehavior or safety violations will be given consequences, which may include suspension from the bus. In cases of extreme or deliberate misbehavior on the bus, the school bus driver has been instructed to return to school. If this situation occurs, the children who are having difficulty will be removed from the bus. Parents of children removed from the bus will be called and will be expected to pick them up from school. The bus will return as quickly as possible to its scheduled drop-offs.
