School Buses
Transportation on a school bus is a privilege. For the safety of all
passengers, a few regulations are necessary:
|
1. |
Students must be on time at their bus stop. The driver
does not have to wait for students who are late.
|
|
2. |
Students should always treat the bus driver and fellow
students with respect and courtesy. Foul language,
shouting, spitting out of windows and other improper
behaviour will not be tolerated and could lead to
suspension of transport privileges. |
|
3. |
Smoking
is not permitted on school buses. |
|
4. |
Cumbersome objects such as hockey sticks, large hockey
bags, shovels, animals, etc. are not to be taken on the
bus. Skates and skateboards will be tolerated only if
enclosed in a canvas bag. The bus driver has the
authority to decide what objects are excluded from the
bus. |
|
5. |
Any
acts of vandalism will be dealt with very severely.
Damages will be paid for by the guilty party.
|
|
6. |
Students may only take the bus that they have been
assigned. Students must carry their bus pass at all
times. |
|
7. |
Students must remain on the sidewalk while waiting for
their school bus. Students are requested not to go
between or behind parked or moving buses. |
In general,
students guilty of misconduct on a school bus may have the privilege
of school transportation suspended for a period of time. This will
depend on the gravity of the offense.
Student Cars/Motorcycles/Bicycles
Students are not
encouraged to bring motorcycles or cars to school. If, however, it
is necessary for a student to bring a vehicle to school, it must be
understood that he/she is not to use the vehicle during school
hours. Students who fail to respect school regulations can be
refused permission to bring a motorized vehicle to school.
Students driving to school may use the parking lot on René Émard.
Students are expected to proceed carefully and cautiously on school
grounds.
Students may bring bicycles to school but the school will not be
responsible for damaged, stolen or lost bicycles.
