 Bus Drop-Off Procedures

• All K-8 students must be met by a parent, or guardian when the bus arrives at their bus stop. Families must notify the school if there is another individual that should be added to the authorized pick up list. If a parent, guardian, or authorized individual is not at the bus stop, the driver will radio the dispatcher and keep the child on the bus. 
• The dispatcher shall note the child’s name and assigned bus stop and direct the bus driver to proceed on the route. 
• After the last bus stop on the bus route, the driver will receive instructions from the dispatcher and may return to the bus stop to see if the parent or guardian has arrived. If the parent or guardian is still not there, the driver will radio the dispatcher and will return to take the student back to school. 
• Level I students should display a tag on their back pack indicating their name, grade, and assigned bus stop to assist the driver in the event there is no one at the bus stop to meet the student. 

Bus Safety

Bus Stop Safety Reminders 

• Arrive a minimum of ten minutes before the scheduled pick up time.
• Stand off the roadway, away from cars and traffic.
• Do not run or play while waiting for the bus.
• When the bus arrives, wait until the bus comes to a complete stop and the red lights flash. 
• Board the bus in an orderly fashion, no running, shouting, or pushing. 
• Never run to catch the bus. 
• When exiting the schoolbus, always walk straight away from the bus. Do not remain in the “danger zone” where the driver cannot see you.
• Never reach under the bus to pick up lost articles.
• Never cross the roadway behind the bus.
  
  
  

Student Conduct on School Buses

Procedures for Drivers, Parents and Guardians

1. In case of any misconduct on a bus, the incident will be reported on the proper form to the school Principal or Assistant Principals. School administration will report the incident in writing to the parent or guardian concerned. 
2. The Principal or Assistant Principal will suspend the student’s transportation privileges as deemed appropriate with written notice to the parent or guardian. 
3. The length of the transportation suspension will be determined by the school administrator and the responsibility for transportation will then rest with the parent or guardian. 

Loading and Unloading at Bus Stop

1. Riders should arrive on time meaning ten minutes before the scheduled pick up time. Bus drivers will not wait. 
2. Riders will enter or leave the bus at regular stops only. 
3. Orderly behavior and respect for private property will be required.
4. Directions of the driver must be followed by the riders when entering or exiting the bus. 
5. No K-8 student will be dropped off without a parent or guardian present for pickup.

Required Conduct aboard the Bus

1. Riders must remain in seats and in place while the bus is in motion. 
2. Whistling and shouting are not permitted.
3. Profanity and obscene language are forbidden
4. Smoking is prohibited. 
5. The following disturbances are prohibited:
   1. Pushing or wrestling
   2. Annoying other passengers or disturbing their possessions
   3. Talking to the driver while driving
   4. Throwing objects within the bus or out of windows
   5. Climbing over seats
   6. Leaning out of windows
   7. Littering the bus
6. Parents and guardians will be held responsible for any defacing or damaging of the bus.

 The administration of South Shore Charter Public School shares with students and parents/guardians the responsibility for student safety during transportation to and from school.  All school buses are equipped with video recording equipment which will be used on transportation routes.  The authority for enforcing schoolwide  requirements of student conduct on buses will rest with school administration. 

To ensure the safety of all students who ride in buses, it may occasionally be necessary to revoke the privilege of transportation from a student who abuses this privilege.  Parents/guardians of children whose behavior and misconduct on school buses endangers the health, safety, and welfare of other riders will be notified that their children face the loss of transportation privileges in accordance with regulations approved by the Board of Trustees.

These regulations will be included in the SSCPS Student and Family Handbook which will be sent to families next week. Families must sign either electronically or on paper indicating that the regulations contained in the Student and Family Handbook have been received and read.

Thank you for your response and your continued support of the South Shore Charter Public School. ​

Dear SSCPS Families,
 
It is with deep regret that I write to you today about a loss to our school community. Susan Knineh, bus driver and owner of the FCC Transportation Company, died unexpectedly yesterday. Susan had a longstanding relationship with our school both as a parent and as the owner of the transportation service so many families have relied upon over the years. Today will be the final run of the FCC bus. Please keep Susan and her family in your thoughts during this difficult time. 
 
This loss is sure to raise many emotions, concerns, and questions for our entire school, especially our students. The South Shore Charter Public School has a Crisis Intervention Team made up of professionals trained to help with the needs of students, families, and school personnel at difficult times such as this. We have counselors available for any student who may need or want help of any type of assistance surrounding this loss. Counselors will be available to students tomorrow morning and throughout the day. We encourage you, as family members, to also feel free to contact us if you need support. 
 
Linked below please find some additional information from The Children's Room that may be useful to you when discussing grief with your child at home. If you would like additional information or need assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me or any member of our school's administration directly. 
 
Sincerely, 
Alicia

Dear SSCPS Families,

We have received notification from the Facebook page that there are some questions regarding bus services for next year. We will be providing updates on school bus transportation over the next few days. There have also been some questions pertaining to remote learning Fridays. The last remote learning Friday will be on March 26, 2021. We will adjust the school calendar accordingly. Fridays will remain half days (8:15-12:05) until further notice. As a reminder, there will be no school next Wednesday, March 17 as it is a Faculty Professional Development Day and there will be no school on Friday, April 2. 

Have a good evening.
Sincerely,
Alicia
