Bus Discipline Rules

Rules for Non-Bus Students

• The safety and security of the children is our prime concern. As partners in their holistic growth, it is of prime importance to ensure that every student of the school is safe at all times.
• The school transport is the safest mode of transportation and has adequate coverage area to facilitate student transportation.
• It is strongly recommended that parents do not risk the safety of their wards by using stray vans/rickshaws for getting them dropped or picked from the school premises.
• In case your ward is travelling to school through private conveyance, please ensure that the  van fulfills all safety and security norms.
• Be very particular that the private conveyance is not overcrowded and is adequately manned by a driver and helper.
• Verify the antecedents of the driver and maintain a record with his photo ID and address.
• It is mandatory for van drivers to wear photo ID cards.
• Please ensure that police verification of the transporter is done.
• Ensure that the transporter uses language suitable to the tender ears of the young children.
• Transporters must avoid honking and parking vehicles near the school premises as it creates chaos.
• Ensure that the private conveyance drops your ward to school not before 7:40 a.m at Senior Wing, 8:00 a.m. at Primary Wing and 8:10 a.m. at Nursery Wing.
• Ensure that your ward is picked up soon after school closes and is not left to loiter around after school hours.

The transporter must drop and pick up the child from the school gate. Most vehicles park far away and children have to walk to school from that distance and at times cross the road too. Children crossing the road unattended are not the responsibility of the school. The school maintains no connection with any private transporter whatsoever. The use of private conveyance is totally at parents’ discretion. The school may not be held responsible for any untoward incident occurring outside the school premises or in the private conveyance. Children are not allowed to use personal conveyance like scooty/scooter/bikes to commute to school. Driving without license is a punishable act. The school regularly sends circulars to the above effect and parents are requested to give them their full consideration.
