Transportation
Students driving vehicles to school must register their vehicles by submitting the parking application form to the main office. The expectations for safe driving and parking are described on the form.
Students play an important role in school bus safety. It is the responsibility of everyone on the bus to follow the rules and to avoid distractions that prevent the driver from focusing on the road.
- All school rules and regulations apply to the school bus.
- The school bus driver has the authority to assign all seats on the school bus.
- Students are to keep all parts of their bodies and all objects inside the school bus at all times.
- Students must keep all objects (book bags, instruments, projects, etc.) on their laps, not in the aisle. If an object is too large for a student’s lap, it is the parents’ responsibility to transport the object.
- Students must transport all athletic equipment in the appropriate bags.
- Students must stay in their assigned seats with their feet on the floor. Standing is not permitted.
- Students may not yell, use profane language, talk loudly or make loud noises.
- Skateboards, street hockey sticks, roller skates/blades or any other objects not used in the school curriculum are not allowed on the school bus.
- Students may not eat, drink, chew gum or smoke/vape on the school bus.
- Students should help keep the school bus clean and not damage or deface any part of the school bus.
- It is recommended that students be at their bus stop five minutes prior to their scheduled pickup time.
- Items brought on the school bus that violate the transportation rules are subject to confiscation.
- Students must enter school immediately upon arrival to campus.
Consequences for failing to obey the rules on the school bus may include a verbal reprimand or seat assignment by the driver, a discipline referral to the building administrator and/or parent notification. According to the Pennsylvania Department of Education, school districts are not required to transport students. Consequently, severe or repeated misconduct may result in a loss of bus-riding privileges for a specified period of time; parents will be responsible for providing transportation.
Parent Notification - School Bus Cameras
Activity on ETSD buses is recorded on cameras that capture both audio and video. The video/audio cameras are used to monitor behavior and maintain safety on our buses. Students and parents are hereby notified that audio and video recording is occurring while students are on the bus as outlined through guidelines in Policy 810.2.
Electronic Transportation, Skateboards & Rollerblades
Students are not permitted to use skateboards, "roller shoes" or rollerblades on ETSH campus. Students traveling to or from school via these means must store them in their lockers or the office. Students who use gas or electric bikes and scooters must abide by transportation laws of the road while on campus.
