The success of our transportation program depends on the cooperation of students, parents, school staff and the companies we work with.
Students’ responsibilities:
- Be well behaved on the bus by not fighting, shouting or rough-housing on the bus
- Follow the driver’s instructions
- Be on time for pick-up
Parents’ responsibilities:
- Ensure your child is at the designated bus stop on time
- Maintain open communication with the driver about unique characteristics of your child (i.e. behavioural or medical concerns)
- Inform the bus company if someone else is picking up your child or if your child will not be on the bus on a particular day before dismissal
- Contact your school if you have any concerns about transportation
Drivers’ responsibilities:
- Transport students safely to and from their school from their designated stop
- Notify parents of any changes in pick-up or drop-off times
- Ensure students are met by their parent or caregiver, if necessary
- If a parent or caregiver is not there to meet a child, the driver has the following options:
- Drop off the remaining students and return to the child’s drop-off location
- Deliver the student to the emergency contact person if available and nearby
- Return the student to the school
