SCHOOL LETTERHEAD
Dear Parents/Guardians:
When transporting students to and from school, ensuring your student’s safety is our number one priority. Our bus drivers have increasingly expressed concerns about the enforcement of transportation rules. Consistent enforcement of rules for student behavior is required to provide the safest conditions. Consequently, the district formed a study committee comprised of students, bus drivers, assistant principals, principals, and transportation route coordinators to improve our transportation system.
The hard work of the group produced a document that provides a consistent approach and incorporates best practices related to student safety. It also states expectations for drivers, students, parents, and school administrators. The guidelines are included with this letter.
Please read the attached information about best practices and responsibilities, and what may happen if students break the rules. After reading these items, please complete the form below and return it to the bus driver. We all share responsibility for ensuring student safety. We appreciate your cooperation and assistance.
Sincerely,
Principal
