Bus Safety and Conduct

Children who travel to and from school by bus must be seated while the bus is in motion, and must talk quietly so as not to distract the driver. They must comply with the regulations of the local school district regarding behavior on the bus. A continued lack of cooperation will result in the student not being permitted to use the school bus.
The same behavior that is demanded of our children while at school applies while waiting for the buses, and while riding them. No child may change the bus he/she has been assigned without first getting permission for this from the principal. Since each child is covered by insurance, it is important this regulation be strongly enforced. Bus regulations are serious and must be observed.

The following School Bus Safety Procedures List is from the Transportation Division of the School District of Philadelphia:

  1. Pupils must be at the bus stop on time.
  2. While waiting to board the bus, pupils must stay on the sidewalk until the bus stops and the lights are flashing.
  3. Pupils must remain seated at all times during the ride. Do not stand to leave until the bus has stopped.
  4. There is to be no loud noise on the bus. Pupils talk quietly.
  5. Pupils may not open bus windows without permission.
  6. Pupils must keep all parts of the body inside the windows.
  7. Pupils are not to call or shout out of bus windows.
  8. Pupils are not to eat, drink, or throw objects out of windows while on bus.
  9. Pupils must obey the driver at all times.
