Transportation

Student safety is our top priority.

The Transportation department strives to promote safe and efficient transportation for eligible Mount Markham students. All bus drivers are trained to operate our buses, adhere to traffic laws, conduct pre-trip and post-trip vehicle inspections, and maintain student order and safety.  We ask that parents remind their students that bus rules and good behavior are important to everyone’s safety while on the bus.

Bus Rules

1. Obey the driver. The driver is responsible for safety and order on the bus.

2. In cases where it is necessary to cross a highway when entering or leaving a bus, do so at least ten feet in front of the bus-upon appropriate signal from the driver.

3. You must be at least fifteen feet away from the bus and either off the road or on a sidewalk before it can leave.

4. Do not extend any part of your body out of the window at any time.

5. Take your seat upon entering the bus and remain seated.

6. Absolutely no smoking, foul language, fighting, eating or fooling around.

7. Be ready when the bus arrives.

A violation of these rules will result in disciplinary action.

Please note that the expectation is to be ready as the bus arrives. In addition, we would like to remind everyone that our policy for leaving students under the age of ten (fourth grade) at a stop without a parent/guardian home and visable is strictly prohibited.
