Safety Advice
-
On the way to and from the bus stop:
- Cross streets at the corner.
- Use crosswalks whenever possible.
- Obey traffic signals.
- Look both ways before crossing the street.
- Stay on the sidewalk.
At the bus stop:
- Stay on the sidewalk and don’t play in the street.
- Stay behind the curb as the bus approaches.
- Always cross the street in front of the bus.
- When you get off the bus, move away from the bus.
Back to school:
- Attend the Gopher, Bronco, or Sabercat Days at your student’s high school for additional route information for the new school year.
- For K-8 parents, once you receive the mailing with your student's route information and ID Card please contact us at transportation@fusdaz.org if you have any questions.
- Take your child to the bus stop prior to the start of school.
- Make sure your child knows his/her name and address. If not, write this information inside their backpack.
Student Conduct
-
What are our expectations for student conduct?
Inappropriate conduct at bus stops, on district vehicles, or in the process of boarding or exiting from a vehicle may result in student disciplinary action including, but not limited to, denial of transportation privileges.
Listed below are some general rules to follow:
- All student conduct policies apply at bus stops.
- Obey the driver's instructions.
- Keep the aisles clear.
- Remain seated until the scheduled stop.
- Keep all body parts inside the vehicle.
- Do not yell or use vulgar or abusive language.
- Be respectful to the driver and others.
- Do not throw anything inside the vehicle or from the vehicle.
- No food or drink, other than water.
- Tobacco use is not allowed.
- Provide proper identification when asked to do so.
Please refer to the Parent-Student Handbook for more information on transportation rules and regulations, and consequences for failure to comply with these rules.
Riding the bus is a privilege, not a right. Suspension of bus riding privileges does not relieve parents of the responsibility of sending a child to school.
