RECEIVE A PHONE CALL REGARDING THEIR CHILD'S
TRANSPORTATION BY MONDAY AUGUST 20. If
you have problems logging into Family Access
or have not established an account, please

The main priority of the transportation
department for the first three weeks of school is
to ensure that all routes are running smoothly
and all students have the transportation they
need. We will address any stop changes after
September 1. Thank you for your understanding
and patience.
If there is a need to transport
a student to or from a location other than
their permanent residence, please e-mail the
Transportation Department at: transportation2@hse.k12.in.us.
This includes transportation to or from a day
care facility or day care provider, to a relative's
home, or to the home of the other parent due
to a split custody arrangement. Please keep
in mind that the alternate location must be
within the school boundary.
Basic Rules of Bus Conduct
Riding the school bus is a privilege and is a part of the school day.
Accordingly, students should adhere to all rules and procedures outlined in the
student handbook while being transported to and from school. Classroom conduct
is expected.
- The driver is in charge at all times while on the bus. All driver directives
should be followed promptly.
- Be at your bus stop five minutes prior to the scheduled pickup time.
- Go to your assigned seat quickly. Stay seated at all times until it is your time
to get off the bus, and the bus has come to a complete stop. Seated means facing
forward with feet on the floor. Students will be completely out of the aisle if
two or less students are in the seat.
- Keep arms, legs, and objects to yourself and inside the bus.
- Talk quietly with no inappropriate language or gestures. Quietly means at a
level where the driver cannot clearly hear the conversation and the students you
are trying to talk to are no more than two seats away.
- Students are not to bring toys, electronic games, collectible cards, laser
pointers, balloons, or other distracting items to school or onto the bus. Music
devices may be used while on the bus, but must be turned off and secured in
student lockers during the school day. HSE is not responsible for loss, damage
or theft of music devises.
- Students are to refrain from possession of forbidden items while on the bus,
such as weapons, tobacco, drugs, alcohol, aerosals, sprays, pumps, combustibles
or other contraband.
- Food, gum, and drinks are not allowed on the bus at any time without written
permission from the Director of Transportation.
- A student may ride a different school bus with a friend, or for other
activities, provided there is enough room on the bus and the student follows all
bus rules. Students may not have more than one friend ride on their assigned bus
without prior permission from the driver or transportation office. A note,
written by the parent or guardian, must be sent verifying that the student may
ride a different bus. A male and female riding home together must have the note
verified by the school. The note must be signed and dated by school personnel.
- Bus windows will not be lowered more than half the distance of their travel.
- Once a student has boarded their bus at the school, they will not be allowed
to exit the bus without authorization from school personnel.
- Cell phones and cameras used during regular bus routes will be confiscated
and disciplinary consequences will be administered. Students returning home
after school activities on a school bus may use cell phones with the permission
of the driver, activity sponsor or coach. HSE is not responsible for loss,
damage or theft of cell phones.
- Skateboards and rollerblades are not permitted on school buses or any other
school property.
- Musical instrumentsmust be kept in the seat with the student.
- No items will be stored in the back window.
- Golf clubs are not to be transported on regular route buses.
