If your student requires specialized transportation you must start the process at the school. The school administration will assess your students’ needs for transportation and act accordingly.
If my child is having trouble with other students on the bus, who should I contact?
The school bus is an extension of the classroom. Procedure TCP-B005 outlines the code of conduct on the school bus.
Students who are granted the privilege of travelling to and from school by school bus must behave in a safe and appropriate manner while they are aboard the vehicle. Those who behave in an unsafe or inappropriate manner will lose this privilege.
The Code of Conduct sets the expectations of safe and appropriate behaviour. Students are accountable to the school principal for their behaviour while on the school bus and must obey the instructions of the bus driver, who represents the school principal. Inappropriate behaviour will be recorded on the appropriate form (Misconduct or Safe Schools) by the driver or bus operator and forwarded to the principal. The principal has the responsibility of investigating the behaviour and notifying both the bus operator and STSCGB of the outcome of the investigation.
