Transportation
Noble Schools Transportation Department is dedicated to the belief that the most precious resource of our district is our students. Transportation is charged with the responsibility of transporting our most precious cargo to and from school and school activities. It is absolutely essential that the students attending our schools arrive at their destination safely and in a mental frame of mind that is conducive to learning.
The Transportation Department employee is an important member of the educational team. It is the employee's responsibility to deliver the student to and from school safely, on time, and promote to the students in their charge the moral characteristics necessary for the well-being of each child.
We dedicate ourselves to ensuring that all Transportation Department employees receive the proper training, leadership, and support necessary to enable them to successfully execute their duties.
School Bus Rules
At the Bus Stop
- Arrive at your stop 5 minutes before the bus. Never run after or next to the bus if you're late.
- Students are picked up and dropped off at their designated stops only.
- If you must cross the street to load, wait for your driver's hand signal that it's safe to cross.
- Remember bus stop safety.
On the Bus
- Bottom to bottom, back to back! Remain seated at all times — the driver will alert you when it's time to exit.
- Keep hands to ourselves — it reduces roughhousing and injury.
- No excessive noise — it distracts the driver and creates an unsafe environment.
- No eating or drinking (water is acceptable).
- Never extend arms or head out of the windows.
- Always follow the driver's directions! The school bus is an extension of the classroom.
Exiting the Bus
- Stay seated until the bus comes to a complete stop — your driver will instruct you when to exit.
- If you must cross the street, wait for your driver's hand signal that it's safe.
- Never walk behind the bus where the driver cannot see you.
- Drop something outside the bus? DO NOT pick it up — ask your driver for help.
- Once you're off the bus, go straight home.
Passing School Buses
Do you know when to brake for that big yellow school bus? Knowing the rules could save you from a crash — but more importantly, from striking a child with your vehicle.
Motorists moving in both directions must stop when approaching a school bus with its lights activated and the stop sign extended. However, on a highway divided by a raised barrier or an unpaved median at least five feet wide, a motorist traveling in the opposite direction of the stopped school bus may proceed with caution — and even then, proceed with caution.
Be attentive and patient! Our children's lives depend on it!
