CONVEYANCE BY SCHOOL BUSES
School Conveyance facilities are available in selected routes. The details of routes, bus timings, conveyance charges, timings, etc., may be obtained from the Transport Supervisor.
- The student shall be at the bus stop specified, at least 5 minutes ahead of the prescribed time. Those who miss the bus shall make their own arrangement to reach the school.
- Deviation from approved route or picking up from home will not be allowed to reduce the effective time of travel of students and avoid unwanted delays.
- If a change in collection point / stop is desired, the same shall be communicated by the parent through a written note to the Transport Supervisor with date and clear instructions at least one day before.
- Instructions from parents on any change required in conveyance received over phone from parents or guardians shall not be entertained for safety reasons.
- Parents, whose wards would not be travelling in the school bus, are requested to notify in advance the Bus Attendant or the Transport Supervisor about their absence.
The school is keen to encourage pupils to take responsibility for their behaviour in the buses in the interest of the safety and welfare of all. The transport supervisor follows up incidents of poor behaviour on the buses. Serious or repeated incidents of misbehaviour may result in pupils receiving a ban from using the bus. Parents are required to support the school by ensuring their children behave responsibly on the school bus.
Parents are not expected to talk to / get any information from the drivers and the attendants, as it will affect the time schedule. For any information or complaints against the drivers or the attendants or about the transport arrangements, parents shall contact the transport supervisor.
Pupils using school transport are expected to:
- Remain in the seat given by the driver/attendant at all times.
- Listen to the instructions from the driver/attendant.
- Avoid behaviour that could distract the driver, as this could be dangerous.
- Keep emergency exits and aisles free of bags, musical instruments and sports items.
- Pay the transportation fees on time to obtain or continue their bus services.
- Behave in a good manner when waiting at the bus stop and when walking to and from the bus stop.
