Students riding school buses are to comply with the bus company’s regulations and are to respect and obey the driver at all times. Incidents of misbehavior are reported directly to the bus company by the driver. Please contact the principal with any concerns or questions about bussing.

Any student who plans to ride the bus to a destination other than his/her regular stop must bring two notes from a parent/guardian – one copy for the principal and a second copy to be signed by the principal along with the school form and presented to the bus driver upon boarding the bus.
