Page | 7 **ALL food must be store-bought and include nutrition and ingredient labels on the package. Homemade food may not be distributed at school. Please understand that this school policy is a safety measure for our children due to the number of children with various food allergies. BREAKFAST Breakfast is offered free of charge to all students as a “grab and go” option. Students will have the choice as to whether they eat the food that is provided. BUS NOTES Students who come to school by bus should return home the same way, unless they have notes verifying, they are to go home in a different way. These notes should be shown to the bus drivers and given to the children's teachers. Teachers will send these notes to the office in the morning. We do not accept verbal messages from students regarding changes in their dismissal. Parents are asked to not call the office with the phone requests to change a student’s dismissal procedure. BUS RULES/BUS SAFETY Riding a school bus is a privilege. With this privilege comes responsibility for good conduct, proper care of the bus and respect for the rights of others. Parents can best assist teachers and bus drivers by being familiar with the bus rules: Your driver has absolute control of the bus and of the conduct of those on it. You are expected to obey your driver. If you must cross the street when boarding of leaving the bus, WALK IN FRONT OF THE BUS. Look both ways before crossing the road. Enter and leave by the front door. The rear door is for emergency use only. Do not touch it except in the case of an emergency. Promptly take the seat assigned to you. Sit facing forward. Keep your hands, arms, legs, and head away from the window. Keep feet, legs, and books out of the aisle. Do not eat on the bus. Help your driver keep the bus clean. Cooperate during a bus emergency drill. Ordinary conversation is permissible. Students who fail to abide by the bus rules will be disciplined. Bus drivers have the right to suspend a student from riding the bus for a period of one day. Administration may suspend students for additional days. Parents will be notified of suspensions before they go into effect. Discipline procedures are as follows: 1st offense: Referral to principal’s office. Discipline at the discretion of the principal or designee. 2nd offense: Referral to principal’s office. Discipline at the discretion of the principal or designee.
