Bus Procedures

All school rules apply on the bus and at all bus stops. Riding on the school bus is a privilege and any student behavior that distracts the bus driver and/or endangers the safety of other students can result in suspension of bus privileges. See consequences below.

1st Offense: Warning; letter to parents

2nd Offense: Up to ten (10) days suspension of bus privileges

3rd Offense: Suspension of bus privileges for 30 days

4th Offense: Suspension of bus privileges for the rest of the school year or 90 days,

whichever is longer.

In instances of flagrant violations, the administration reserves the right to remove a student indefinitely in the event that a student poses a risk to self, others, or property. Additionally, students will reimburse the district for any damage to property on the bus for which they are directly responsible.

If a student loses the privilege of riding the bus, the student is not allowed to ride on a school bus during the suspension time for any school-sponsored activity that requires bus transportation (i.e. class trips, athletic games).

A “Bus Change” form must be completed any time you change a bus assignment, whether temporarily or permanently. This form can be picked up and filled out in the Main Office. For one-time changes in a bus stop on the same bus, a note from your parent/guardian should be brought to and signed by the Main Office personnel.
