Notice to Parents of Bus Riders
Dear Parents,
We want to address some concerning behavior that has been escalating on the bus. To ensure the safety and well-being of all students, we will be reviewing the bus footage over the next few days. Please be advised that any students found in violation of the bus rules and regulations will be suspended from bus riding for a period of five days. Additionally, any fees accumulated for late pick-ups during this period will not be waived.
As a reminder, students should adhere to the following rules while riding the bus:
Do not use cell phones while on the bus.
No fighting or play fighting is permitted.
Remain seated while the bus is in motion.
Do not move from seat to seat while the bus is in motion.
Eating and drinking are not allowed on the bus.
Do not litter or throw objects out of the windows.
Refrain from using profane language or making inappropriate gestures.
Show respect to the driver and fellow students.
Do not yell or scream as it can distract the driver.
Do not deface school property in any form.
We appreciate your cooperation and support in reinforcing these guidelines with your children to ensure a safe and respectful environment for all bus riders.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Gray Assistant Principal Gilliard Elementary School
