As stated in the bus transportation policy( P3541.7) of the Enfield Board of Education, of utmost importance is the safety of everyone on the bus or at the bus stop. Thus, students will be held to reasonable regulations, which, if not followed, may cause them to be excluded from bus transportation. Any behavior that may distract the bus driver or infringe upon the rights of other students will also result in disciplinary action, including suspension from school. Please understand that our expectation of acceptable conduct applies to the bus stop as well.
The rules for conduct of students using the school buses are as follows:
1. Students shall always be courteous to the bus driver and follow their instructions. 2. Students are only allowed to ride on their assigned bus. 3. Students should get on and off the bus only when the bus is fully stopped. They must take a seat when they enter and remain seated while the bus is in motion.
4. Students shall enter or leave the bus only at the front door except in cases of an emergency. When entering or leaving the bus, students should avoid crowding or in any way disturbing others.
5. If a student MUST cross the street to get on or off the bus, the student MUST cross in front of the bus. The bus will not proceed until the student is safely off the traveled portion of the street. 6. Students must not at any time extend their arms or head out of the bus windows. 7. Students shall assist in keeping the bus clean and orderly. Papers or other objects may not be thrown on the bus or out of the windows. Students are to refrain from causing any disturbance that may distract the bus driver from proper and safe operation of the school bus.
