Acknowledgment

PRSD Responsibility

PRSD shall provide safe and reliable transportation for students while being transported to and from school. We recognize the vital role parents play in the safe transportation of students, and have developed operating procedures to identify the responsibilities for communication and co-operation between the parents/guardians, school, and transportation services.

Parent Responsibilities

a) Parents/guardians with the help of school staff and/or the bus driver may arrange "bus buddies" for students who require them
b) It is recommended that Parents/Guardians or a responsible designate accompany and remain with younger student(s) at the bus stop.
c) Parents/Guardians or a responsible designate should ensure students are at the stop 3-5 minutes prior to pick time.  Bus Drivers may leave the stop at the stated time, to ensure students arrive at school in a timely manner.
d) Drivers will not knowingly leave a child unattended at a stop, but recognize that a spare driver may not know your child or with a large group there is not always acknowledgement of who goes with whom.
e) A note is required to be submitted to the school prior to boarding a school bus the child is not registered on.  Bus drivers are not required to transport students who are not registered for their route.
f) No person shall bring on the bus the following item(s):  animals (except “guide dog”), firearms, explosives, combustible materials or substances or anything of dangerous or objectionable nature or that might endanger the lives or safety of persons in the bus.
As a parent/guardian requesting transportation services for my child who is named above, I hereby agree to abide by PRSD Transportation Policy 8.31, section 'School Bus Rider Policy'. I further realize that the services provided are a privilege, not a right and may be suspended or withdrawn in the event I and/or my child fail to abide by the rules.
I have been made aware of and fully understand that I am ultimately responsible to get my child to and from the bus stop safely or to provide a responsible designate. It is my sole responsibility to inform the PRSD in a timely manner of address changes, drop off changes, health changes or any other changes that may affect the safe transportation of my child.
I fully understand that PRSD may enact emergency procedures if I or any of the emergency contacts listed on my child's school record not available to receive my child from Transportation Services and/or if the emergency contact(s) named on my child's school record is/are not available.
I understand that as per Administrative Procedure 181, The Peace River School Division may equip school buses with electronic recording devices ensuring student and driver safety.
All reasonable efforts are made by Board and PRSD staff and transportation operators to ensure the safety of every child involved in transportation services. Parents/guardians play a key role in ensuring the safety of their child by providing accurate information and ensuring each child is met by a responsible designated person at the end of every day.
Submitted by I acknowledge that transportation procedures will apply.
