Pickup & Boarding

Be on time for the bus. Leave home early and walk quickly. Arrive five minutes before the departure time. You can wait for the bus, but the bus cannot wait for you!
On your way, cross the street only at the corner. If there aren’t any sidewalks, walk on the left facing cars.
Never run into the street or road. Always look left and right and left again to ensure not cars are coming when you cross.
Stay away from the street when waiting for the bus. Always wait for the bus in a safe place, at least two metres from the curb.
Be sure there is a space between you and the passing cars.
Don’t play tag or run around, but stand quietly at the stop and wait for the bus to come.
If other students are waiting at the bus stop, get in line without pushing or jostling.
While waiting for the bus, do not damage or trespass onto private property.
Do not play on snow banks.

Line up in single file in front of the bus door, at least two metres from the curb.
Wait until the driver opens the door before approaching the bus.
If there is a school bus patrol, wait until the patrol takes up their position beside the door before approaching the bus.
Wait your turn.
Board the bus quickly without crowding or pushing.
Always use the handrail—this could save you from falling off the steps and into the street.
Make sure you watch where you are stepping.
A seating plan is in effect at all times.
Go directly to your assigned seat and sit straight with your back firmly against the seat. The bus driver has the authority to reassign any seating.
All students must remain seated and facing forward.
