GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR NORWIN BUS TRANSPORTATION
The Norwin School District Policy 810 provides for the transportation of resident students in grades 1 - 12 to and from school. This same policy provides transportation to Kindergarten children one-way only; mid-day transportation remains the responsibility of parents/guardians. The district does not provide buses for pre-school. School transportation is a privilege that may be removed for behaviors that are persistent, unacceptable or present a safety concern. Below are some of the bus laws and regulations to help you better understand how transportation operates with the hopes our service can be most effective. You will also find information regarding busing in your Student Handbooks.

CHANGE OF ADDRESS
See the "MOVING?" tab...It is important that you make any address changes when moving to a new location within the District since the process can take 10-14 days to finalize. The information you enter is passed on to First Student and your child’s bus number, pick-up location and time will be updated. Change of address should be made as soon as possible or your child's transportation needs can not be updated.
BUS STOP GUIDELINES
Children should report for the bus ten (10) minutes ahead of the scheduled pick-up time and stand in the designated area. Parents or a designated adult are required to be at the bus stop for students in KG and 1st grade. There is to be no shouting, running or game-playing while waiting for the bus. Students should be respectful of the property and privacy of those persons who may live at or near the bus stop. All school rules and regulations apply at the bus stop as well as on the bus. When exiting the bus, students should go directly to their homes. Misbehavior upon exiting the bus is also subject to disciplinary action.
STUDENT BEHAVIOR
While riding a Norwin school vehicle, students are expected to sit face forward and talk in a quiet tone. The driver of the school vehicle is responsible for maintaining discipline and may verbally reprimand any student who is not complying with the bus rules. If a student does not correct his/her behavior, the driver will notify the building principal in writing. The building principal will take the appropriate action which may include a verbal or written warning, suspension or other disciplinary action. Suspension from the bus does not excuse the student from attending school. During the period of suspension, it is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to provide transportation to and from school. Additional information may be found in the Regulations on Student Rights Responsibilities and Discipline at the High School, in the Student Handbooks at the Middle School and in the Parent/Student Handbook for elementary students only.USE OF AUDIO AND VIDEO EQUIPMENT
All buses serving Norwin School District transportation needs are subject to being both audio and video recorded in order to assist in ensuring that the students are transported in a manner that protects them, as well as the school bus operator from physical injury, verbal abuse, and threats. Such recordings, both audio and video, may be utilized in all disciplinary and security investigations of students and adult employees of Norwin School District and its contracted service providers.
