Statement on the Handbook

This Handbook provides parents and students with information regarding Kamehameha’s policies and services. This Handbook supersedes any prior handbooks. The statements and policies in this Handbook do not represent any kind of contract between parents and Kamehameha, nor do they create or confer any legal rights. Kamehameha needs to be flexible in order to keep pace with changing laws and requirements affecting and applicable to the goals and operations of Kamehameha. Because of that, this Handbook may be modified, suspended or revoked at any time without notice and without taking into consideration custom or prior practices. Parents are encouraged to consult with the schools’ administration if they have any questions about this Handbook, need an update, or need further information about a specific policy or rule discussed in this Handbook. Parents are expected to be familiar with all information contained in the Handbook.

References to “parents” throughout this handbook should be understood to mean “parents and legal guardians.”

Information for Parents

Supporting Your Child’s Education

Your Role as a ParentYour love, encouragement, and belief in your child’s ability to learn can make a world of difference in your child’s academic success. Our school will help your child achieve his or her highest potential by providing a setting for formal learning – classrooms, staff, materials, equipment and facilities – and by providing active, meaningful learning experiences. Supporting your child will assure that he or she gets the most out of this educational experience. To help this happen, we hold you to the following expectations:

Enforce School RulesHelp your child understand and follow the rules contained in this handbook and support the school when consequences are invoked for a violation of the rules.

Support Regular AttendanceMake sure that your child is in school on time everyday, unless attendance is prevented by an illness, injury or emergency.

Take an Active Interest in Your Child’s LearningKnow what your child is studying and talk about what is happening in school. Provide a time and place for quiet study time for completion of homework.

Monitor your Child’s ProgressStudy informal notes, interim reports and report cards. Discuss them with your child. If you have any questions, contact a school counselor or administrator.

CommunicateOpen communication between parents and school professionals is key to a child’s academic success. Contact a teacher, counselor, or administrator as soon as a problem arises to discuss your concerns or to schedule a conference.

Keep InformedParticipate in workshops, attend meetings, and read handbooks, letters and other correspondence from the school.

Support School ActivitiesShow support for your child’s involvement by volunteering to assist with activities or by simply ensuring safe transportation for your child to and from school activities.

Enforcing Dress CodeEnforcement of the dress code begins at home. Please ensure your child leaves home in proper school attire.

Technology Acceptable Use

Electronic Communication with Students, Parents & GuardiansIn order to promote KS’ goal of increasing sustainability through reduction in paperwork, KS will communicate with students, parents and guardians electronically using one or more of the following approved electronic tools via the KS Systems and Web-based Applications (collectively “KS System”):

• KS Connect: KS Connect (http://connect.ksbe.edu/) is a web-based system used to monitor student grades, track student progress, register for the upcoming school year, view school announcements, access school information and facilitate communication between students, teachers and parents. Once students are issued email accounts they will be given access to KS Connect. Parents will receive information when their child enters summer school either during orientation or in the mail.

• Summer School Web site: The Summer School’s Web site can be found at: http://blogs.ksbe.edu/kapalamasummer/. The site features a wellspring of useful information including the student and parent handbook, the course catalog, summer reading lists and a faculty contact list.

We ask that those parents/legal guardians who do not have access to the electronic tools listed above to contact their child(ren)’s grade level unit office so that the same information may be sent to them via U.S. mail.

Use of KS Mobile Devices and the KS SystemKS assigns students at selected grade levels appropriate mobile devices (such as a laptop computer or an iPad) and allows students the use of its internet, intranet and email systems to support education-related communication and research. Students may access the systems through the KS Network. The use of these KS owned mobile devices, the KS System and its support facilities is a privilege and not a right, and students must abide by the guidelines discussed below when using their issued devices on the KS System. Mobile devices are returned at the end of the school year, unless KS has approved summer time use of the device. Upon return, KS re-images its mobile devices for the new school year. KS will remove all non-approved apps, software and content (including music, photos, videos, etc.) from each device. Inappropriate care and use will result in disciplinary action, as set forth in the disciplinary section of this Handbook. You may view a detailed version of the guidelines online at http://connect.ksbe.edu.

Home Ho‘ona‘auao

“Kukilakila ‘o Kamehameha”1. Our kula is Pauahi’s home; a place of honor, respect,

and pride.

2. Pauahi established her legacy of education for Hawaiian youth in perpetuity.

3. Pauahi demonstrated that strong, meaningful relationships help to maintain pono, a sense of balance, rightness. Maintaining balance is a discipline that affects thoughts, words and behaviors expressed within our family and home.

4. Pauahi’s influence and spirit of ho‘okipa attracted people of all walks of life who sought her company and felt loved and welcomed in her home regardless of their station. Likewise, we strive to express that spirit of graciousness and love in our Home Ho‘ona‘auao today.

5. Pauahi was viewed by people as a model of perfection. We strive to emulate her character and bearing in our daily actions as po‘o, alaka‘i, kumu, limahana, haumana and ‘ohana.

Each of us represents the unique heritage of our individual families and the pride of our respective communities. The richness of this diversity is brought together in a unified

8

way as we live, learn and grow as an ‘ohana here in Pauahi’s home. Her love of God, reverence for her great-grandfather Kamehameha ‘Ekahi, and devotion to her Lähui are timeless virtues that resonate in our kula today.

To ensure a loving, safe and inspiring environment for optimum learning and teaching, while maintaining the level of honor and esteem due the Princess, we commit to a discipline process that centers on reflection, focuses on growth, promotes learning, and leads to positive behavioral change.

Student Discipline

I lälä küpono o ka ÿohana o Kamehameha,

e höÿihi ana au i ke Akua, koÿu poÿe küpuna,

A Commitment to Appropriate Conduct

I am grateful to Princess Pauahi for her generosity.

As a steadfast member of the Kamehameha family,

I will honor God, my ancestors,

my family and the community with

righteous actions.

Kamehameha Schools is committed to a safe and healthy environment where students can live and learn productively and effectively. It is, therefore, the policy of the School to hold each student responsible for his/her own behavior. The discipline system used at Kamehameha Schools is intended to help students control both their emotions and their behaviors, as well as to learn what is, and what is not acceptable behavior.

Students BehaviorTo protect the quality and safety of Kamehameha’s learning environment for all members of the campus community, consequences will be applied when students choose not to honor and accept their kuleana as a member of our Home Ho‘ona‘auao. KS has a process in place to help identify student misbehavior that may be detrimental to the health and safety of Kamehameha people and property.

The KS student disciplinary process is designed to model and teach children to take personal responsibility for their actions and to respect the rights of others. The process applies to misbehavior in classrooms, on campus, at school-sponsored events, or at non-school sponsored events. Disciplinary problems occur for a variety of

reasons and in varying degrees of frequency and severity, so there are FIVE levels to the KS disciplinary process.

Level 2, 3, 4 and 5 behaviors require investigation. The nature and scope of the investigation depends on the frequency and/or severity of each incident. Students may be placed on administrative leave during the investigation and will be given an opportunity to explain their views before disciplinary action is taken. Efforts will be made to contact parents/guardians concerning serious issues and to protect the confidentiality of all parties. If the disciplinary consequence involves conduct probation and/or release, that information will be communicated to parents first verbally and then with a written, follow-up letter.

Kamehameha Schools campuses may include additional infractions as appropriate to maintain a safe and orderly learning environment. Additional or alternative disciplinary consequences may be applied. In all cases, KS has the sole discretion to determine the appropriate level of discipline for each incident. Only disciplinary actions which may result in a student’s release may be appealed to the Po‘o Kula.

school, is contrary to the mission of the school, impinges on the rights of other students, employees, or members of the school community, or has a direct or immediate effect on the discipline or general welfare of the school, even if such conduct takes place off campus, during non-school hours or on breaks from school. Such conduct will be evaluated at the sole discretion of KS, and KS reserves the right to modify the regular disciplinary process as may be deemed necessary under the circumstances. Some examples of such outside conduct which may have disciplinary ramifications at school include any violation of law; underage purchase, use or possession of alcohol or a controlled substance; cyberbullying or other use or misuse of computers, or computer websites (personal, at home or at school), which do, or could, impact the welfare of any member of the school community or the reputation or functioning of the school.

Appealing a Disciplinary DecisionOnly disciplinary decisions by the principal that result in a release may be appealed to the Po‘o Kula. All other disciplinary decisions by the principal or his/her designee that result in consequences less than that standard may not be appealed. Once a decision has been made by the principal or his/her designee, it will usually be first communicated to the parent/guardian, verbally, then with a written follow-up letter. Once the written decision to release a student has been communicated, the parent has three working days to appeal the decision to the Po‘o Kula in writing.

Appeals must be based on one or more of the following specific factors:

• The presentation of new information regarding the situation that was not available during the original investigation

• A potential lapse or error in applying the school’s procedures applicable to the situation based upon the school’s discipline process

Once the written appeal has been received, the Po‘o Kula will review the information gathered by the principal (or designee). If the Po‘o Kula determines that there are sufficient grounds for the appeal, a time will be scheduled for the Po‘o Kula to meet with parent/guardian(s) and the student, and if deemed necessary by the Po‘o Kula, with the principal. If there are insufficient grounds for the appeal, the Po‘o Kula will notify the parent(s) in writing.

After the scheduled meeting, the Po‘o Kula will render a final decision of the appeal in writing to the parent/guardian(s) and principal within a reasonable time. The decision by the Po‘o Kula is final and not reviewable.

It is the policy of KS to make its programs, services, and activities accessible to a qualified person with a disability, unless there is a fundamental alteration in the nature of the program or service, undue hardship, or the student poses a direct threat to him or herself, or to others. A “qualified person with a disability” refers to an individual with a disability who is otherwise qualified to participate in any given school, program, or activity.

Student DriversStudents are not allowed to drive or park on campus during the school day unless they have registered with the High School office (located in Ka‘ahumanu 102 or Kipuka at Bishop) on the first day of summer school and obtained a parking permit. All parking permits are kept on file at the KS Security office.

Available parking on campus is very limited. Driving and parking on campus is a privilege for students; it is not a right to which students are entitled. All student drivers are responsible for knowing the rules and regulations for

driving and parking on campus. Failure to follow driving and parking rules and regulations may result in the loss of parking privileges.

Skateboards, Rollerblades and ScootersSkateboards, rollerblades, scooters, hoverboards, Heelys, Razors, etc., are not allowed on campus at any time.

Policy on Discrimination, Harassment, Intimidation, Bullying, Hazing or Violence & Reporting School Infractions & Unlawful ActivityKS is committed to providing a learning environment free from all types of discrimination, harassment, intimidation, bullying, hazing or violence that would interfere with a student’s ability to learn and enjoy his or her educational experience. All school infractions, including any incident of discrimination, harassment, intimidation, bullying, hazing or violence, should be reported immediately to the summer school unit coordinator’s office to permit KS to take appropriate action. KS will investigate and handle such reports in accordance with its policies and procedures. Student suspect(s) will be given the opportunity to explain their views. KS may take disciplinary action, up to and including suspension or release, as determined by KS in its sole discretion. If the infraction is serious and circumstances so warrant, KS may report the incident to local law enforcement officials. A detailed list of infractions and disciplinary actions can be found in the “Student Discipline” section of the Handbook. For more information about how to report a school infraction, including any incident of discrimination, harassment, intimidation, bullying, hazing, or violence, please contact the summer school unit coordinator’s office.

If you witness non-students engaging in unlawful or suspicious activities such as theft, arson or drug-use, please report it immediately to KS faculty, staff members or campus security. In cases of emergency, contact local law enforcement, fire, and/or emergency services officials.

Off-limit Areas on CampusTo ensure the safety of all students and to protect school and student property, certain campus areas are designated off-limits. Students are not allowed in the following areas during the regular school day:

• Areas where construction or renovation is in progress

• Parking lots

• Access roads

• Forest areas

13

• Physical plant area

• Athletic facilities, unless enrolled in a sports class assigned to that area

• Classroom lanai areas & restrooms during class, except during passing periods or with permission

• Dormitory and boarding areas

• Any other areas identified and communicated by faculty and/or staff

Visitors and VolunteersUpon arrival on campus, ALL visitors – including parents, relatives and caregivers – must report to the unit office, sign in, and obtain a visitor’s pass BEFORE going to a classroom or anywhere else on campus. All visitors are expected to follow school rules to ensure that visits do not disrupt the learning environment or endanger the safety of students or staff. At the end of the visit, visitors must report back to the unit office, sign out and return the visitor’s pass.

KS depends greatly on parents, relatives and community volunteers to enhance its curriculum and to make such things as field trips and special activities possible. In order to provide the safest environment for students and volunteers, KS requires every volunteer who will be in direct contact with students for an extended period, and/or on a regular basis, to complete a volunteer information form available online at www.parents. ksbe.edu, under the volunteer tab, and at the Unit Coordinators’ offices.

Volunteers must also have a TB test on file and authorize a criminal history record check annually before working directly with the children. This information is kept in a confidential file in the principal’s office. Upon arrival on campus, volunteers must report to the school administrator authorized to supervise the volunteer.

Kamehameha facilities are smoke- and drug-free environments. All visitors and volunteers are expected to adhere to this policy. Smoking (except in designated smoking areas), drinking, or use of any illegal substance is prohibited on school property (including parking lots, bus terminals, and KS vehicles and/or rental buses), at school-sponsored events, and at field trip locations. Any person under the influence of drugs or alcohol shall not be permitted on school property or at school-sponsored events.

In all cases, Kamehameha reserves the right to refuse to allow visitors or volunteers, including parents, relatives or caregivers, to participate in its programs and services if, in

the opinion of the administrator, there exists a reasonable belief that the visitor or volunteer may pose a risk to the health, safety or welfare of the students.

Volunteers who have already completed the above procedures for the regular 2015 –2016 school year do not have to complete volunteer procedures for summer school.

Securing ValuablesAs a safeguard, never leave valuable items unattended or unsecured. Kamehameha Schools will not be responsibile for replacing lost, stolen or damaged items.

Personal Electronic Equipment/ Cellular PhonesIf a student chooses to bring any of these items to school they assume all risk and liability. Kamehameha will not be responsible for replacing lost, stolen or damaged items. If a student’s use of these items interferes with the learning environment, the item will be confiscated and disciplinary action will be taken. All personal electronic equipment must be turned off during class periods.

Right to SearchKamehameha Schools is a private educational institution responsible for the safety of its students and faculty members. As such, KS reserves the right to search student lockers, dormitory living quarters, cars, persons and personal possessions if there is a reasonable suspicion that a student is in possession of contraband items or has violated school rules or criminal laws. Searches may include drug and alcohol testing and/or the seizure of contraband items that may injure students or others. Kamehameha Schools strives to ensure that searches and/or seizures be justified at their inception and reasonably related in scope to the circumstances that justified the initial search and/or seizure.

Reporting Child Abuse and/or NeglectKS complies with the Child Abuse Law, the Child Protective Act, and Domestic Abuse Protective Orders. To the extent permitted by these laws, KS strives to balance the rights of students with the rights of parents and family members.

In compliance with the Child Abuse Law, KS administrators, faculty and staff are required to report any suspected child abuse or neglect they believe has occurred or is at substantial risk of occurring to the Department of Human Services (DHS) or the police. Staff is required to treat all matters with confidentiality,

14

only revealing information to those who have a genuine need to know about the specific matter.

Under the law, if a child is being investigated for possible abuse or neglect, DHS or the police can interview the child without parental consent or presence. KS may attempt to notify the parents before the agency or police interview the child, but parental consent IS NOT REQUIRED. If, however, DHS or the police want to interview a child during an investigation concerning another child, parental consent IS REQUIRED before any interview can take place.

Changes in your Child’s Custodial StatusIt is the policy of Kamehameha Schools to remain a neutral party in parental disputes concerning the care or custody of their child. It is the obligation of parents and legal guardian to notify KS in the event there is a legal change in their children’s custodial status. Please forward any court orders, decrees, power of attorneys that affect your child’s legal status to the respective unit office of KS. In the absence of any legal documentation, KS follows the guidelines developed through statutory law and court decisions. A copy of the legal document establishing parental authority is also retained in the student’s record.

KS staff verifies the identification and the legal documents granting a change in custody for anyone claiming to be a foster or permanent custodian, a Guardian Ad Litem, or a representative of Child Welfare Services or a similar agency if these people seek information about a student or try to instruct staff in matters which conflict with the rights of the last-known legal guardian.

Island-wide Emergencies Kamehameha Schools has a campus-wide emergency response plan designed to provide administrators, faculty and staff with a guide for emergencies. The goals of the plan are to:

• Ensure the safety and security of students, staff and visitors

• Minimize disruption of academic programs and business operations

• Minimize property losses

• Assist the community in time of emergency

KS’s emergency operations plan is activated any time a CIVIL DEFENSE WARNING is issued. In such a case, parents can obtain information about school or their children in the following ways:

Radio: Announcements about school closure or evacuation will be broadcast over the following local radio stations: KCCN 100.3 FM, KRTR 96.3 FM, KUMU 94.7 FM, KINE 105.1 FM or via Connect ED, the school communication system.

Telephone calls: In the event of an emergency, parents may call KS’ main switchboard at 808-842-8211 or toll-free at 1 (800) 842-IMUA. Parents will reach the KS operator or hear a pre-recorded message with the information about the status of the school and students.

Evacuation of students: If students must be evacuated, school personnel will ensure that students are moved to a safe location. In case of local or national emergencies, students will be transported to bus stops sites AT NORMAL DROP-OFF TIMES only if transportation is deemed safe. Otherwise, students will remain in their designated evacuation center on the Kapälama campus. In such cases, parents are asked to listen to local radio stations or call the emergency hotline for information.

Family emergency plans: All families should have their own emergency plans. Parents should review those plans regularly with their children.

If you have questions about the KS emergency response plan, call the Operations Support Division at 842-8260.

Lost and FoundEach Summer School Unit Office has a lost and found. Please label items, especially sweaters and jackets, with student’s last name and first initial. Unclaimed items will be donated to the Association of Teachers and Parents’ Thrift Shop in September.

Medical ServicesKS provides medical services to grade 1 – 4 students at the Kalanimökü Dispensary located on the second floor of the Kalanimökü Building. The dispensary is open Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and can be reached by calling 842-8606. Students in grades 5-8 are provided medical services at the Middle School Dispensary, located in the Ka‘öleiokü Building. The dispensary is open Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and can be reached by calling 843-3459. Medical services for high school students are available at Hale Ola. Hale Ola is staffed Monday through Friday from 6:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and can be reached by calling 842-8075.

15

A registered nurse and/or medical assistant are on duty at both dispensaries and Hale Ola. Students are seen on a first-come, first-served basis except in the cases of emergency. There is no charge to students who are seen at the dispensaries and Hale Ola.

Costs incurred by outside referrals and treatments are the responsibility of parents.

Our Medical Services department provides medical evaluation, first aid, urgent/emergency care, and referral services to other physicians or facilities, as defined below:

• Medical evaluation is the process of being evaluated by the registered nurse, nurse practitioner, or medical director to determine health problems and to make recommendations for treatment.

• First aid is defined as minor medical care given to an individual who has been injured or becomes ill and is usually provided by a nurse.

• Urgent/emergent care is medical care of a more serious nature such as a fracture, laceration, severe wheezing, etc. The student is evaluated by a nurse, nurse practitioner or medical director.

• In the event of a serious medical emergency, emergency medical services personnel will transport the student to the nearest emergency medical facility.

KS provides these medical services to students, but parents are ultimately responsible for the health of their children.

If a student is referred to an outside physician or facility by the dispensaries or Hale Ola, a referral letter will be provided to parents to be completed by the physician or facility. If the student does not have a referral letter, a private physician’s restriction form is acceptable. A signed referral letter or physician’s restriction form is required when the student returns to school.

KS does not assume responsibility for treating students who appear to be under the influence of drugs, chemicals, alcohol, or any other intoxicating or mood-altering substance. However, it reserves the right to administer emergency treatment in connection with physical disabilities or accidents resulting from the above listed influences.

Additional Medical Services

Rest AreaStudents who become ill or are injured during the school day should obtain a pass from their teacher and check in at one of the dispensaries or Hale Ola. Each location has

a limited number of beds for students to rest on until they are able to return to class or are picked up by a parent/ legal guardian or other designated adult.

Medication AdministrationAll prescription and over the counter medications that must be taken during school hours must be delivered to the dispensaries or Hale Ola accompanied by a signed Request for Administration of Medication (RAM) form. This form is available at the dispensaries or Hale Ola and must be completed by parents and the prescribing physician and approved by the medical director. All medication should be in their original pharmacy container with the necessary information – student name, medication name, physician’s name, and dosage of the medication and frequency to be given. If the medication(s) need to be given by KS medical staff this should be noted on the RAM form.

KS is not responsible for reminding students to take or report for their medication.

Upper elementary, middle school, and high school students may be permitted to carry and self-administer a medication based on the RAM agreement between their parents and KS medical staff. Parents must ensure the following:

• The student’s physician certifies the medication by completing and signing the appropriate section of the Request for Administration of Medication form.

• The student knows what the medication is for and when to take it, and is able to safely administer the medication.

• The medication does not require refrigeration or security measures (for example controlled substances).

• The student will not share any medication(s) with other students.

Contacting Parents

In cases of emergency or if a child needs to be picked up from school, the dispensaries or Hale Ola will attempt to call one of the child’s parents. All students are required to have an additional on-island adult emergency contact designated to authorize medical care when a parent is unable to be contacted. Further treatment by a private physician or an emergency room is at the discretion of parents.

Students will be sent home from school if they have any of the following:

• A temperature of 100.5°F or above. Students must be fever-free for 24 hours without medication (Tylenol, Motrin, etc.) before returning to school.

16

• Vomiting or diarrhea

• Infectious disease (chicken pox, pink eye, influenza, head lice, etc.)

IMPORTANT: Please notify the main office immediately of a change of address or phone number. Call 842-8765.

Health RecordsKS maintains a health record on each student. The health record contains emergency contact, health insurance and immunization information, and a chronological account of each visit to the dispensary or Hale Ola. It also contains a signed Permission for Medical Treatment and Release form which enables the either location to ensure that students receive medical care from providers who participate in their health plans. Parents are responsible for informing the dispensaries or Hale Ola of changes in student health record information immediately by calling the Kalanimökü Dispensary at 842-8606, Ka‘öleiokü Dispensary at 843-3459 or Hale Ola at 842-8075.

Kamehameha Schools retains all student health records for a minimum of seven years beyond majority. KS also complies with the Hawai‘i Medical Association and American Medical Association rules on medical records confidentiality and retention.

Student Accident InsuranceKamehameha Schools provides limited accident insurance for students for accidental injuries incurred during participation in school functions, activities or trips. This insurance provides accident coverage in conjunction with parents’ personal medical insurance or serves as primary insurance for those who are uninsured. Kamehameha Schools requires students to be insured if they wish to participate in athletics.

Bus TransportationKamehameha Schools provides bus transportation to and from the Kapälama campus for students living in rural and outlying areas of the island. Shuttle busses transport students between the bus terminal and campus both before and after school. Bussing is also provided for students on a limited basis for field trips, athletic, and other KS-sponsored events and activities.

FeesThe cost of bus service for each child for the 2015 Summer School program is $200.00 (round trip) or $100.00 (one way). The bus service fee is NON-REFUNDABLE. Cost for transportation is subject to change.

Bus TicketsBus tickets are mailed with student schedules approximately seven (7) days before the start of the summer session. Students must bring their bus ticket to school each day. Lost tickets must be replaced and reissued the following school day. A $10.00 fee will be collected for each reissued bus ticket.

Drop-off and Pick-up from Bus SitesParents are asked for their kökua at bus pick-up and drop-off points. Parents should drop off and pick up their children in a timely manner as KS will not be responsible for students who are left unattended at designated bus stops. In addition, parents are reminded not to litter, or cause hazardous conditions for children or buses by participating in unsafe vehicular or pedestrian actions at bus stops.

Transportation Changes

Cancelling Bus ServiceParents who wish to withdraw their children from the bus program must notify the Main Summer School Office in writing. Please call 842-8765 for more information.

Changes in PlansIf a child typically rides the bus, but will be transported home by another means for a special reason, parents must notify the Summer School Office. Notification by a child alone is not sufficient. Prior notification in writing is best, but in an emergency a phone call to 842-8765 by 11:00 a.m. is also satisfactory. If parental notification is not received, transportation arrangements for a child may not be changed.

Bussing is also provided for students on a limited basis for field trips, athletic, and other KS-sponsored events and activities.

Bus Passenger CodeWhile riding KS buses and/or vehicles, students are under the direct supervision of the bus driver. The driver shall be responsible for enforcing and reporting any infractions of the Kamehameha’s School Bus Passenger Code to school administrators. If faculty and/or staff are riding the bus, they shall assist the driver with the supervision of students.

All students and passengers riding school buses, including faculty, staff and guests, shall abide by the school bus passenger code noted below. Failure to comply may result in suspension or loss of bus privileges.

b. Observe the following crossing procedure when crossing the street with the assistance of a school bus driver:

• Walk 12 feet in front of the bus and check to see if the alternating red lamps on the top portion of the school bus are flashing. If they are, look at the driver and wait for him/her to give you the signal to cross.

Corrective ActionKS will take corrective action against passengers who violate the School Bus Passenger Code. Bus drivers will send a Student Notice of Concern form for students who misbehave to the KSKSS Assistant Coordinator. School administrators may terminate a student’s bus service if the behavior continues.
