Department
New
Boarding
Process
June 29, 2015
2015-16 School Year
The process for boarding the school bus has
changed making it safer for students.
Students wait until the crossing control arm
fully opens and the school bus door opens
before leaving their bus stop to board the bus.
In the past, students watched for the stop sign
arm to be fully opened before walking to the
bus.
School Bus is
approaching the
bus stop; amber
(yellow) lights are
flashing.
Don’t cross the street!
Bus is stopped;
stop sign is open
and red lights are
flashing. This is
the signal to
motorists to stop.
Don’t cross the street!
Bus is stopped;
crossing control arm
is fully open and
door is open. This is
the signal to students
to check traffic and
board the bus.
Remember to look both ways before
crossing the street and boarding the bus.
The new rule
Students wait for the crossing
control arm to fully deploy
before leaving the sidewalk to
board the bus.

Tell someone – The most important step is for the child or young person to talk to
someone they trust about what is happening. This may be a parent, friend, teacher
or counsellor.
Don’t reply to bullying messages – This may make the situation worse. By
replying, the bully gets what he or she wants. Often, if the child does not reply, the
bully will get bored and leave them alone.
Block the cyberbully – Depending on the way that the bully is communicating
with the young person, it may be possible to block their messages or texts. If your
child is not sure how, your phone or internet service provider can help you.
Report the problem – Your child’s school may have policies about cyberbullying
and can take action against it. Your ISP or phone provider may also be able to help.
Websites like Facebook and MySpace have links where you can report abuse.
Keep the evidence – Keeping copies of texts, emails, online conversations or
voicemails as evidence can be useful if it comes to tracking the bully down.
Change your contact details – Get a new user name for the internet, a new email
account, a new mobile phone number and only give them out to your closest
friends.
Keep your username and passwords secret – Keep your personal information
private so it doesn’t fall into the hands of someone who’ll misuse it.
If messages are threatening or serious, get in touch with the police –
Cyberbullying, if it’s threatening, is illegal and the police may be able to take
action.
