Rule of the Week
Rule of the Week:
Wait for the bus in a safe place, and in an orderly manner.
What It Means:
Students waiting for the bus must wait in a location more than ten feet from where the bus stops. Approach to the bus will be regulated by the driver's signal.
Why It Matters:
Students need to wait in a location a safe distance from traffic and from the approaching bus. Even students entering the bus on the door side need to wait for the driver's safety signal, especially when it's cold outside.
Waiting in the roadway, on top of snowbanks, or inside the house is generally a bad idea.
Safe Riding!

Rule of the Week
This Week's Rule:
Get on the bus in a single file line. Never push.
What It Means:
Students need to enter the bus one-by-one, using the handrail. The same is true upon exiting: using the handrail, students need to leave the bus one-by-one.
Why It Matters:
Pushing while standing too close to the bus is dangerous for all students. Approaching and entering the bus in a single file line means the bus driver can easily see all the students and observe their safe entry onto (and later exit from) the bus.
Safe Riding!

This Week's Rule:
Wait for the bus in a safe place and in an orderly fashion.
What It Means:
Wait at the designated school bus stop at a place approved by parents and the bus driver. Avoid horseplay.
Why It's Important:
Students need to wait off the roadway for the bus to arrive. It's best not to stand on top of snowbanks or climb trees. Waiting in an orderly fashion means no one will be pushed into the street at an unsafe time.
Safe Riding!

This Week's Rule:
Keep your hands to yourself.
What It Means:
Students should be sitting facing the front of the bus with their belongings and their hands in their laps.
Why It's Important:
Most problems on the bus would be resolved if the students didn't touch each other.
We also believe the best way to stop the spread of germs is to encourage students to avoid touching each other as much as possible.
Safe Riding!
