School bus riders must remember the driver is the boss responsible for their safety and conduct. The driver has the authority to assign seating and should command the respect of riders. Riding rules include:
Board and get off buses on time at assigned stops only. Bus drivers are not required to wait unless they see a student coming to the bus. In the afternoon, buses leave the school promptly at 3:15 p.m.
Walk to the bus stop facing traffic (if there is no sidewalk) so drivers on the road can see you.
Do not play on or near the road while waiting for a bus.
Do not cross a road to get on a bus until it arrives. On discharge from a bus, wait until the driver gives the signal to do so. Students who live on roads with retraces should get on their bus at stops that do not require crossing the road.
Load and unload using the handrail only after the bus comes to a complete stop.
Disruptive behaviors that distract bus drivers are prohibited and acts of misconduct are subject discipline -- fighting, smoking, use of profane language, possession/use of alcohol and/or drugs, public displays of affection, sexual activity, throwing objects on the bus (i.e., shooting spitballs with rubber bands or bobby pins), etc. Conduct of students determines whether or not they will be entitled to bus transportation
