Transportation

Parents/guardians are encouraged to review their child’s walking route to and from the bus stop. Students need to be prompt and should arrive at the bus stop no sooner then five minutes before the bus is scheduled to arrive.

​While at the bus stop, students are expected to stand a safe distance from the street and avoid activities that could injure themselves or others. Students are expected to respect others’ property. It is suggested that parents/guardians supervise their child at the bus stop whenever possible. 

​When the bus approaches and while on the bus, students must observe the instructions of the driver. It may be necessary to cross the road to board a school bus. Students should wait until the bus comes to a complete stop, the door is open and the driver gives the student the signal to cross in front of the bus. Always cross in front of the bus with the aid of the flashing stop sign lights and cross arm. Never go under or reach for anything under the bus. If anything goes underneath the bus, inform the bus driver.

Safe, respectful conduct is expected of all passengers to insure safety. Listed below are the rules for the Greensburg Community School buses:

Stay in your seat, with hands to yourself.
Always respect others, the bus, and yourself.
Follow the directions of your bus driver all the time.
Eating and drinking are not allowed on the bus.
Talk quietly: Please do not shout; No hurtful words.
Your safety is our #1 concern; you are responsible for your actions. 

Always remember to keep aisle ways and doorway clear of feet, books, etc. Never open windows without the driver’s permission. Windows shall be only half way down when given permission to be opened. Remain seated until the bus comes to a complete stop and the driver opens the door. Students will be quiet at railroad crossings. 

Serious or persistent violations offensive to, or endangering the safety of others will result in progressive discipline. A student may receive a verbal warning, receive a written warning, be suspended from riding the bus, or be denied their bus riding privileges. Certain activities may result in immediate suspension from bus riding privileges and possible criminal charges. These include but are not limited to: 

• Fighting on the bus
• Throwing objects in or out of the bus
• Possession of dangerous weapons or like articles
• Destroying or defacing school district or private property
• Smoking, or use/possession of drugs, alcohol or any form of tobacco
