NASHA SHKOLA TRANSPORTATION/BUS RULES

Students shall be aware that all school rules, policies, and regulations apply to behavior on busses to
and from school or while on any school-related activity. Rules and regulations have been established
to maintain a safe and positive climate for all riders and drivers on each school bus.

Remember, RIDING THE BUS IS A PRIVILEGE, NOT A RIGHT!

Expectations for all bus riders:

  • Be courteous at the bus stop.
  • Enter the bus in an orderly fashion, sit down, and remain seated for the entire trip.
  • Do not move from seat to seat, put your feet on the seats, or engage in any horseplay.
  • Be respectful of other students and the driver. Do not use foul language. Do not take things that belong to others.
  • Do not harass anyone verbally or physically.
  • Do not eat or drink on the bus unless the driver gives you permission to do so.
  • Cooperate respectfully with the driver. Comply with the requests from the driver without arguing.
  • Transporting any potentially dangerous objects, including weapons, is prohibited.
  • Keep all body parts inside the bus. Do not throw objects out the bus window.
  • Do not vandalize the bus in any way.
  • Do not stand or walk in a bus while it is in motion.
  • Do not distract the driver in any way. Your safety and the safety of others is in the hands of the driver.

A bus driver’s primary concern is safety. If students on a particular bus consistently misbehave, the
driver or transportation director may request a seating chart for the entire bus. In addition, drivers
can assign a particular student an assigned seat if they feel it is necessary.

Consequences for Breaking Ridership Rules

Students who demonstrate inappropriate behavior on the bus or at a bus stop will be referred to
school administrators.

Principals handle each case on an individual basis and may assign the following consequences: verbal
warning, assigned bus seat, discussion with parent, and loss of bus service.
