Transportation

We treat our bus riders like the priceless, precious cargo they are, and we are honored by your trust in us to provide transportation for your children to and from school and school-related activities. We will always do our very best to keep our students safe. To accomplish this, we need your (and your child’s) cooperation in upholding our schedule and rules.

Safety & Bus Conduct

Transportation is a privilege extended to students in CBESD. To ensure the safety of all parties, the driver, aide, and students must do everything possible to make it a safe and pleasant ride. Students who wish to ride the bus must consistently follow the safety rules and demonstrate acceptable behavior.

For everyone’s protection, we have equipped all of our buses with video and audio capabilities. We monitor live feeds while the buses are in use.

  • The bus driver is in control—cooperate!
  • Arrive on time and behave appropriately at your bus stop.
  • Walk in a safe and orderly manner onto the bus and to your assigned seat.
  • Sit quietly on your bottom and face forward.
  • Stay in your own space.
  • Keep your body entirely inside the bus, and keep your voice down.
  • Respect the bus driver and aide.
  • Take all your belongings with you as you carefully exit the bus.
  • Show kindness and respect to all.
  • Be on your best classroom behavior (as described by your attending school).
