RULES & BEHAVIOR REQUIREMENTS

Safety

The bus driver is responsible for the safety of all students and will report any infraction of these rules to Stone Ridge administrators so that the appropriate disciplinary action may be taken.

Behavior Expectations

For the welfare of all students, the established safety rules must be obeyed. Failure to comply with behavioral expectations could result in the termination of the student’s privilege to ride the bus. The School expects each student riding the bus to behave in a manner that is consistent with Stone Ridge and Sacred Heart values and rules of behavior. Students are expected to behave with respect and consideration, exhibit personal integrity, and respectful behavior for others at all times. All students are expected to behave thoughtfully in their actions with classmates.

Talking

Conversation volume should be low enough so as not to distract the bus driver. Obscene language and inappropriate conversation will not be tolerated. Communication with ongoing traffic is not allowed.

Seating

All students must remain seated while the bus is in motion. Students are expected to sit facing forward with their feet on the floor.

Food and Beverages

Eating on the bus is a privilege. If students do not dispose of their trash properly, this privilege will be rescinded.

  17. Students shall help keep the bus clean. All garbage is to be placed in the trash can or taken off the bus with the student.
