Bus Transportation

Bicycle Transportation

Bicycle racks are at the front of the building. A lock should be on each bicycle. It is advisable to have each bicycle marked with identification. Children under the age of twelve years must wear bike helmets when riding. Neither the school nor Neshaminy School District assumes responsibility for bicycle brought to school.

Bus Transportation

Bus children are to ride their assigned buses both to and from school. Students are to use the bus stop that has been assigned to them by our Transportation Department. They are to get off at the same bus stop they got on when coming to school. Bus children may not walk home or to a friend's home. IF A STUDENT MISSES HIS/HER BUS STOP, he/she should alert the bus driver. A student should never get of at another stop and attempt to walk home.

Bus stops are where children go to line up for their bus, not a place to play tag, kickball, hopscotch, jumping rope, etc. Motorists may not be driving defensively. For everyone's safety, please talk with your child about his/her proper behavior while waiting for the us and while riding to or from school on the bus.

Children are expected to show the same respect to bus drivers as they accord their parents and teachers. Repeated infractions of the bus rules may necessitate the denial of bus privileges. The bus driver will familiarize your child with the bus rules. Students who do not follow the rules concerning their behavior at bus stops and while riding the bus may lose the privilege to do so as a consequence.

	Children are not to arrive at the bus stop more than 10 minutes before their assigned time.
	Children must wait safely by avoiding any verbal or physical behavior that could hurt or lead to hurting another child such as fighting, name-calling, arguing or shoving.
	When the bus arrives, children are to line up quietly and carefully.
	Children must remain seated on the bus. Talking with a neighbor, reading a book, or just sitting quietly and thinking are encouraged.
	When disembarking at the end of the day, children should go directly home.
	Children must follow directions the first time they are given.
	Children may not change buses in order to visit friends, go to scouts, piano lessons, etc. without adult knowledge and permission. Each child's parent must write a note when a child is going to another child's house after school. Those notes must be given to the children's teachers who will initial them and send them to the office.
