Transportation

Bicycles/Skateboards/Roller Blades/Scooters

Riding a bicycle is a privilege. It is the student’s responsibility to follow the bicycling rules listed below:

• Only one student is allowed on a bicycle, unless it is a tandem bicycle.
• Students must obey ALL traffic laws and the MPs at the crosswalks.
• There will be NO reckless driving (wheelies, no hands, “chicken," etc.).
• Students must park bicycles at the APPROPRIATE rack.
• All bicycles MUST be locked!
• Each bicycle must have its own lock.
• Helmets ARE required by post regulations.
• Students must WALK bicycles in the WALKING ZONE.
• NO skateboards, skateshoes, roller blades, or scooters are allowed.

The use of skateboards, rollerblade skates, and scooters is considered hazardous for all pupils. These items will be taken from pupils who ride them to school and parents will be required to pick up this equipment.

Bus Transportation

Students attending the Elementary School and living one (1) mile from school are eligible for transportation. Students who abuse the privilege by misconduct while riding the school bus will be denied bus service. Suspension of bus privileges does not mean that the student is suspended from school attendance. It does mean that parents must provide the transportation to and from school.

The school cannot be responsible for incidents occurring at bus stops before the bus arrives. Parents are responsible before bus arrival and after bus drop off at the stops.

The safety and well being of students is a major concern of the school and bus drivers. Being able to ride the bus is a privilege, not a right. Students will be assigned seats on the bus at the discretion of the bus driver or principal. The students will be expected to occupy that seat until it becomes necessary to move as deemed by the driver or the principal.

In the event of severe weather while transporting students, the buses will pull off the road until an all clear signal is given.

A student’s regular transportation will not be changed without a written note from a parent or guardian. Phone calls are not acceptable.
