Approximately three weeks before the start of school a letter of notification will be mailed to each family who has a student eligible to receive bus transportation. This letter will indicate the bus number, bus stop location, and the approximate pick-up and drop-off times. In addition, a copy of the expectations for student behavior will be included.  It is imperative to remind parents that your children's safety is the most important concern of the Lafayette School Corporation Transportation Department.  You can help us with this by reminding your child of the following expectations: 

1.    Students are always to observe classroom conduct while on the school bus.

2.    Students should always cooperate with the bus driver and obey the driver's instructions promptly and respectfully.

3.    Students should walk safely to and from the bus stop.  Walk facing oncoming traffic when there are no sidewalks.  Cross in front of the bus when signaled by the driver.  Walk 10 steps in front of the bus before crossing to and from the bus stop.

4.    STUDENTS SHOULD NEVER ATTEMPT TO RETRIEVE PAPERS OR ARTICLES WHICH ARE NEAR OR UNDER THE BUS!!

5.    Students should be at the bus stop at least 5 minutes before the assigned pick-up time.  Wait at least 10 feet from the roadway.

6.    Students should never attempt to enter or leave the bus until it comes to a complete stop.  The driver will signal students when to load or unload.

7.    Students should sit in their assigned seats as promptly as possible and are not to block the aisles.  Students are not to stand or move from seat to seat while being transported.

Should you have any questions about transporting your child, do not hesitate to contact the Transportation Office at 771-6059 for assistance.
