JICC: STUDENT CONDUCT ON SCHOOL BUSES

Parents are responsible for the supervision of their child before the child boards the bus in the morning and after the child leaves the bus at the end of the school day.

The School Committee expects students to conduct themselves at the bus stop and on the bus in a manner consistent with school and bus rules and the Student Code of Conduct.

Instances in which a student does not conduct him/herself properly on a bus are to be brought to the attention of the building principal by the bus driver.  The building principal will inform parents of the misconduct and request their cooperation in correcting the student’s behavior.

Students who become a serious disciplinary problem on the school bus may have their riding privileges suspended by the building principal.  In such cases, the parents of the students involved become responsible for seeing that their children get to and from school safely.
