School bus safety for parents and students
All students are expected to behave in a safe and appropriate manner at the bus stop and while on the bus. They are to remain seated at all times and talk quietly.
Students are not permitted to change school buses, nor are parents allowed to take the bus with their child.
If problems arise during the year, parents must inform the office. They are NOT to deal with the bus driver or other students directly.
What if I want to pick up my child after school?
If parents wish to make alternative arrangements for their child to go home, they are asked to write a letter to that effect to be presented to the principal for approval and signature at the start of the day.
