Flowchart: Alternate Process: Riding the School Bus: (SAFETY FIRST!!!) üPermission to be picked up or dropped off at any point other than where the student normally boards must be made in writing by the student’s parent or guardian. Bus drivers will not be allowed to deviate from the established route without consent from the bus supervisor or an administrator. üStudents living in town may be picked up by the buses and will be assigned pick-up points. üIt is the responsibility of the student to be at the pick-up point when the bus arrives. If the student is not there, the driver will sound the horn, wait one minute, and then proceed on the route unless otherwise signaled. üObserve the same code of conduct as in the classroom. üLet the bus driver concentrate on the road (COOPERATE WITH YOUR BUSDRIVER). üKeep the bus clean and tidy. üStay quiet when approaching and stopping at railroad crossings. üNO food or drink (unless approved by the bus driver). If Discipline becomes necessary… The driver will contact parents as needed as problems arise. The driver will assign permanent seating as necessary. The driver will report to the Principal any passengers misbehavior of a severe or consistent nature in any manner consistent with the Principal’s directive. Riding the bus is a privilege. Don’t lose that privilege by making poor choices during your time on the bus. The bus driver will never refuse to pick-up, deliver, or drop off an approved passenger unless permission to ride the bus has been denied in writing by the principal.
