11Buses and Safety
The Mount Vernon School District's Transportation
Department is committed to ensuring that
students have a safe ride to and from school.
School Bus Rules
Children riding school buses are under the capable supervision of qualified
bus drivers. Safety is the foremost concern of Transportation Department
staff. Bus drivers are responsible for the safe conduct of students and are
in full charge of buses. Students are responsible for their own behavior.
Students should arrive at the bus stop five minutes
before their bus is scheduled to arrive. Students are
required to ride only their assigned buses.
Each year, the Mount Vernon School District, through a
cooperative effort between school bus drivers and school
building personnel, trains all enrolled students in how
to safely evacuate a school bus in an emergency.
Every day, drivers see that each child is delivered safely to his or her
designated bus stop. Kindergarten children must be met by a parent/
guardian or other authorized adult. No child is allowed to get off the
bus at other than his or her designated stop unless permission is given
by school authorities, in the form of a bus pass, acting upon written
parental request. If a child is unsure of her/his bus stop or is on the wrong
bus, the child is returned to the school and parents are contacted.
Failure to follow District rules may result in suspension of
transportation privileges. Bus Routes are posted in each bus.
Information about bus routes may be obtained by contacting the
Transportation Department at (360) 428.6147. Transportation
Department hours are 7:00 am to 4:30 pm Monday through Friday.
12Autobuses y seguridad
El Departamento de Transporte del Distrito Escolar de
Mount Vernon se ha comprometido a garantizar que
los estudiantes viajen de manera segura tanto cuando
van a la escuela como cuando regresan de ella.
Reglas para los autobuses escolares
Los niños que se trasladan en los autobuses escolares se encuentran bajo la
supervisión idónea de conductores de autobuses calificados. La seguridad
es la prioridad principal del personal del Departamento de Transporte.
Los conductores de los autobuses son responsables del comportamiento
seguro de los estudiantes y están íntegramente a cargo de los autobuses.
Los estudiantes son responsables de su propio comportamiento.
Los estudiantes deben llegar a la parada del autobús cinco minutos
antes del horario programado de llegada del autobús. Asimismo, deben
utilizar únicamente los autobuses que se les hayan asignado.
Todos los años, el Distrito Escolar de Mount Vernon, mediante un esfuerzo
conjunto entre los conductores de autobuses y el personal del establecimiento
educativo, realiza capacitaciones para enseñarles a todos los estudiantes inscritos
cómo evacuar un autobús escolar de manera segura en caso de emergencia.
Todos los días, los conductores se aseguran de que cada niño llegue sin
ningún percance a su parada de autobús designada. No se le permite a ningún
estudiante descender en ninguna parada que no sea su parada designada,
salvo que las autoridades escolares lo autoricen debidamente mediante un
pase de autobús, en respuesta a una solicitud por escrito de los padres. Si
un niño no está seguro de cuál es su parada o se equivoca de autobús, se
procede a llevar al niño de regreso a la escuela y a contactar a sus padres.
El incumplimiento de las reglas establecidas por el Distrito puede tener
como resultado la suspensión de los privilegios de transporte. Para
obtener información sobre las rutas de los autobuses, comuníquese
con el Departamento de Transporte llamando al (360) 428.6147.
Horas de operación: 7:00 am a 4:30 pm de lunes a viernes.
