White
Oak Elementary School The Mission of White Oak Elementary School is to inspire within each child the confidence to become a lifelong learner. |
TRANSPORTATION
The White Oak Elementary Bus Drivers are a very skilled and dedicated group of ladies. Their goal each day is to see that your child arrives at school and returns home in the safest and quickest manner possible.
In order for them to do this, your child must follow the bus rules.
|
On The Bus |
|
|
We Are Respectful |
Greet the driver Use kind words and actions Say "Please" and "Thank you" Respect personal space of others Respect property of others Help others Use a quiet voice Get attention the right way
|
|
We Are Responsible |
Follow the bus rules Wait for the driver’s signal to cross Keep our belongings closed and with us at all times Be ready to get on/off the bus at the right time Stay seated Enter and exit the bus appropriately Keep the aisle clear |
In the event there is a problem on the bus, the following steps will apply (also on pages 4 & 5 of student agenda).
Students who fail to observe the above rules will be subject to
immediate disciplinary action, since their failure to do so may affect the
safety of others. Each bus
driver will maintain order and attempt to correct minor disciplinary
problems. If the inappropriate
behavior continues or is excessively dangerous, the student will be referred
to the principal or assistant principal for the following disciplinary
actions:
2nd referral:
A bus conduct report labeled “Second Offense” will be sent home
and will necessitate the parent’s appearing with the child in a meeting
with the principal or assistant principal before the student may ride the
bus again. The parent will be
notified that suspension from the bus will occur upon the next offense; the
student will be placed in silent lunch, time out, and/or after-school
detention.
3rd
referral and all subsequent referrals:
A
bus conduct report labeled “Third Offense” will be sent home informing
parents of the bus suspension dates. The
period of time for the suspension will be in relation to the seriousness of
the offense and the student’s previous bus conduct offenses.
(One day or more for the third offense and one week or more for
subsequent offenses.)
*The principal will determine if
the offense warrants parent notification.
Excessively dangerous behavior will result in immediate disciplinary
action by the principal.
