School Bus Behavior Policy

Daily bus service is only provided for students living on Quantico Marine Base

Students who ride the bus should:

Be on time.
Arrive at their bus stop at least 5-10 minutes before the regular pickup time.
Stand away from the road, not stand on the traveled portion of the roadway while waiting for the bus.
Observe proper conduct.
Respect the property of others.
Wait until the bus has stopped and then walk up to the front door. Students should not run near a moving bus.
Board the bus in an orderly fashion.
Use the bus stop closest to their home. Walking to a friend's house to catch a bus often causes overcrowding at a given stop.

Be seated immediately.
Remain seated.
Share seats equally.
Be courteous.
Respect property.
Keep hands and head inside bus.

Remain seated until bus comes to a full stop.
Leave the bus in an orderly manner, students in the front seats first.
Avoid loitering around the bus.
Cross at the front of the bus when the driver has signaled that it is safe to do so.

If a disciplinary problem should occur in the afternoon, and the problem is such that, in the judgment of the driver, it is unsafe to proceed, the driver may return to the school to seek immediate disciplinary action and/or assistance. Bus drivers are instructed to report any infractions to the school principal.

Students must have a written request from the parent to go to a stop other than their regularly scheduled stop for their regularly scheduled bus. This written request is subject to approval of the school principal. No change will be made in the location of bus stops or bus routing without approval of the Department of Transportation. No change in the student's bus assignment may be made without the permission of the school principal and the Department of Transportation.
