Rules and Consequences
Rules for Student Conduct on School Buses
Students are expected to be courteous and respectful towards the bus driver,
marshals and fellow students.
Rudeness to drivers, marshals or fellow students will not be allowed. The
driver will report all matters of misbehaviour to the Transportation
Coordinator, who will notify the Transport Coordinator. The following rules
are listed below and will be posted on all buses.
1. Observe same conduct as in the classroom.
2. Be courteous, use no profane language, and speak in a quiet tone voice.
3. Do not eat or drink on the bus.
4. Keep the bus clean.
5. Cooperate with the driver and bus marshals.
6. Illegal and dangerous items are not allowed on the bus (tobacco, alcohol,
drugs, weapons, explosive devises, etc.)
7. Do not be destructive.
8. Stay in your seat.
9. Keep head, hands and feet inside bus.
10. Keep hands and feet to yourself.
11. Bus drivers and marshals are authorized to assign seats.
Unsatisfactory Conduct Reports
It is the goal of the Transportation Department to provide safe, orderly
transportation service. Student misconduct will be handled in a progressive
manner. The driver or bus marshals will verbally instruct students of correct
behaviour. If a student persistently disobeys the bus safety rules the driver or
bus marshal will move the student in the bus if warranted and report the
student to the Deputy Principal (Operations). Repeated misconduct will
generate a misconduct report filed with the school. Multiple misconduct
reports may lead to suspension from the bus either temporarily or
permanently. If a pupil is suspended from school transport, it is then the
parents’ responsibility to make alternative arrangements to ensure their
child’s attendance at school. Refunds will not be given for students whose
misconduct leads to suspension.
