To order to insure the safety of everyone who rides the school bus, Vysehrad ISD has enacted rules and consequences for those students who refuse to act correctly and who jeopardize the safety of all individuals on the bus. This also ensures that everyone is aware of the rules for everyday and for field trips, sporting events, etc.
If inappropriate language (cursing) is used on the bus, there will be an automatic suspension of bus privileges for 2 weeks.
The rules regarding student behavior on the bus are the same as those in the classroom.

Not being fully seated (kneeling, sitting on feet)
Feet in the aisle
Disrespect towards the bus drivers

Any other inappropriate behavior (kicking, biting, hitting, spitting, etc.)
The following actions will happen with each discipline notice per 6 week period:
1st notice - 50 lines will be assigned
2nd notice - 100 lines will be assigned
3rd notice - 150 lines will be assigned
Any subsequent discipline notice will result in a bus suspension for 2 weeks.
Serious behavior problems will be referred to the Principal immediately.
