    Riding the Bus

    2. Follow the directions of the driver. Students are under the direct supervision of the driver while on the bus.

    3. Do not distract the driver's attention or disturb other riders on the bus.

    4. Remain seated at all times. Follow the directions of the driver as to when it is appropriate to stand on the bus.

    5. Students must not block the aisle with any books, musical instruments, legs, or feet.

    6. Musical instruments are permitted if they are small enough to be held in the students' lap without taking another seat.
