Students should report directly to the bus lot; no loitering in the commons or bus lot. • To ensure the safe ride on the bus, students shall obey the bus conduct rules. • Students not riding for 10 consecutive days may be removed from the bus. • Students shall not delay the bus schedule, damage the bus, distract the driver, or get off at an unauthorized stop.

Bus Regulations • • RIDING A BUS IS A PRIVILEGE - A STUDENT WHO FAILS TO FOLLOW THE RULES WILL HAVE HIS/HER RIDING PRIVILEGES REVOKED PROGRESSIVELY at a minimum of 3 days.
