Kindergartners must be accompanied at the bus stop at pick-up and drop-off time by a parent/guardian or designated adult. Kindergartners who are not met at the bus stop at drop-off time will be brought back to their school. It is then the parent's responsibility to get the child at the school. Older siblings are not allowed to act as a guardian. NOTE: All children other than kindergartners will be let off at the bus stop even if a parent or guardian is not there.Parents are not permitted to ride and/or enter a school bus. Concerns about bus behavior or safety should be discussed as soon as possible with the driver and/or principal.
Bus drivers are required to submit a written report on bus safety/ conduct incidents to the school principal, who then determines the disciplinary action to be taken. Serious or continuing problems will be reported to the Transportation Office. (Cameras on the buses help the Transportation Office monitor bus behavior.)
Seat belts are provided on all buses. Parents should speak to their children about the use of seats belts. Broken seat belts should be reported to the Transportation Office immediately.
Schools conduct periodic bus safety drills to reinforce safety procedures.
