Transportation

Bus Expectations

Riding the school bus is a privilege. According to Weld County School District Six Policy #EEAEC the driver of a school bus is in complete charge of the bus and its passengers. Scholar passengers are expected to comply promptly with any request made by their driver or bus monitor and to observe the scholar code of conduct and discipline both at bus stops and on buses.

Misbehavior on a school bus can result in the driver being distracted, and such distractions could endanger the lives of all scholars being transported. Therefore, inappropriate behavior must be reported and disciplinary action will be taken. Parents/guardians are asked to explain the importance of proper behavior on the bus and are expected to support disciplinary actions that are necessary to help the scholar improve his/her behavior.

All scholars are expected to exercise self-control commensurate with their age and development. scholars are expected to remain in their seat and listen respectfully to the directions of the bus driver. scholars failing to follow the rules of the bus jeopardize the safety of others. If your scholar is written up for a bus infraction, you will be contacted. If the infraction continues, the privilege of riding the bus to school may be taken away. In addition to the rules mentioned above, bullying behavior, loud voices, and bringing food on the bus are considered infractions. Schedules and bus route information can be obtained from the transportation department (348-6800) or the school office (348-3800).

Parking and Scholar Drop Off & Pickup

We ask your help in makin gour drop off and pick up as safe as possible. Please park only in designated, marked parking spaces. Do not leave your car unattended in the drive-through area in front or back of the school. Please pull as far forward as possible when you pick-up or drop-off your scholar. Thank you for your assitance.

Walking To and From School

Your scholar's safety is a major concern of the school district, whether he/she is in school or out of school. It is important scholars learn to be safe at an early age. Parents should talk to their scholars about safety measures.

Allow yourself enough time to arrive at school no later than 7:45 a.m.
Walk on the sidewalk.
Cross only at intersections protected by adult crossing guards.
Obey the crossing guards.
Refuse to enter or approach strange automobiles.
Proceed directly to school or home before beginning to play.
Be considerate of smaller scholars.
Be respectful of the neighbors and their property.

Bicycle Safety Rules

All scholars may ride bicycles to and from school. We strongly recommend that scholars wear helmets when riding bicycles to and from school. scholars are highly discouraged from riding their bicycles to school on icy and snowy days. Upon arrival at school, please make sure that your scholar has an adequate lock for his/her bike. Bicycles are not to be ridden on the playground, blacktop, or sidewalk. The school is not responsible for bikes that are vandalized or stolen.=

If a scholar is found to be in violation of these rules, a staff member will give the scholar one warning. A teacher will also communicate this warning to the parents. If a second infraction occurs, the scholar may not be permitted to ride a bicycle to school for 30 days.

Scholars riding skateboards, scooters, or roller blades must follow the same rules as those riding bicycles. Skateboards and rollerblades should be stored in a location that will not disrupt learning. Scooters should be locked in the bike racks. Again, we strongly recommend that scholars wear helmets when riding bicycles, skateboards, scooters or roller blades to and from school.
