Message to Parents:

• Always make sure your children know your emergency plan if they arrive back from school and you are not at home. These emergencies should be planned for and discussed ahead of time.

Message to Students:

• Share your seat with students new to your school. They are often shy and afraid to ask to sit by you.
• Be courteous to others on the bus, including the bus driver. No one enjoys being picked on or treated rudely.
• Share with a teacher or parent any negative incidents that take place on the bus.
• Remain seated at all times. The bus driver can't concentrate on the road if you are causing a disturbance.
• Clean up after yourself if you drop something. It's a good idea to check under your seat before you leave the bus.
• Be on time each day.
• Don't ask bus drivers to drop you off in a strange place. They are looking out for your safety.
• If you miss the bus, notify your parents by phone, so they don't worry about where you are. Have parent phone numbers handy so you can call them from school.
