School Buses

Emma Elementary School has three buses and a staff of wonderful, dedicated drivers. Safety is our first and foremost concern for all students and drivers; therefore, we ask that all students follow our safety rules for riding the bus:

BUS RULES

  1. Students may not delay the bus schedule. They should be at the designated stop five minutes prior to the scheduled time.

  2. Students must meet the bus at the designated stop and may not get on or off at any unassigned stop without permission of the principal.

  3. Students should stay off of the roadway while waiting for the bus and should wait for the bus to come to a complete stop before getting on or off.

  4. Students should cross the road in front of the bus within sight and hearing of the driver and always looks both ways before crossing.

  5. Students will sit in an assigned seat and may not change seats during the bus trip unless directed to do so by the bus driver.

  6. Students must remain seated and facing the front of the bus at all times.
