Bus Procedures

• Students must be at the assigned stop at the scheduled boarding time.
• Students must disembark only at the scheduled stop.
• Parents will pay for any damage that is caused by students.  Deliberate vandalism will result in one-month suspension from the bus in the first instance and a permanent suspension in the second.
• If a student wishes to take a bus other than the one normally assigned, or get off at a stop other than the one normally assigned, a parent request must be submitted in writing to the Transportation Office for approval 48 hours in advance and presented to the monitor before boarding.  Permission will be granted only if space is available.
• Change of address resulting in a change of route or bus stop should be presented to the Transportation Office in writing two days prior to the change.
• The failure or the considerable delay of the bus in arriving at the scheduled pick-up point entitles students to secure alternate transportation to the school.  The Transportation Officer will make reimbursement of any costs incurred.
• Concerns regarding the bus monitor or driver must be registered with the Transportation Officer.
• Bus monitors reserve the right to assign students to a specific seat and all passengers must comply with these directions.
