Home > School Community > Transportation > Bus

Parents are asked to read the yearly bus letter issued in August and to familiarize their children with the bus rules. The school buses are operated by contract with First Student Services of Tilton.


  • No one should get on the bus until the bus driver has arrived and given permission (state law).
  • Students must remain seated when riding the bus (state law).
  • Students must not throw things or play with dangerous objects, or put parts of their body out the window.
  • Students must keep their hands to themselves and keep their voices down.
  • Students must keep feet and backpacks out of the aisles.
  • Students must respect any requests of the bus driver or other adults present.
  • In order to maintain cleanliness, eating , drinking, and chewing gum are not allowed on the buses unless the driver permits it. (Fore example, a driver might allow eating on a long field trip).
  • Students on the vans must wear seat belts.
  • Walkmans are allowed on the buses; electronic games are not.


It is sometimes deemed necessary to have assigned seating on the buses, for all students, individuals, or groups of students.

Students who misbehave while riding the bus or waiting at a bus stop away from the school grounds may receive demerits.
