The bus driver will not honk the horn. The driver will not get out of the vehicle to knock on the door of the student’s home, so the student should be prepared well in advance. If the bus arrives too early, it will wait until the agreed time.
3. ABSENCES: In the event that a student does not need the transportation service on a given day, he/she must notify the coordinator in order for the bus not to pick him/her up. The bus will not go to the student’s home until the parent requests it again.
4. EMERGENCIES: If the school bus is delayed due to a breakdown, the bus driver will notify the coordinator, who will tell the parents about the incident so that students can wait at home until a replacement vehicle arrives.
5. ACCESSES: The bus will not be allowed to pass through routes or access houses that involve insecurity or where it is difficult to maneuver.
