The safety of students during their transportation to and from school is a responsibility that is shared between parents/guardians, bus drivers, and school officials. To ensure the safety of every student that rides a school bus at Hallsville R-IV, the following guidelines will be in effect:

1. Students will only be able to ride the bus they are assigned to. 
2. At the beginning of each year rules will be posted on the bus, and periodically throughout the year, bus rules will be reviewed and discussed with the students.
3. When misbehavior occurs, a bus conduct notice will be written. This notice will be given to the school administration. The parent will be notified of this warning.
4. The second time the driver issues a written conduct notice for the same student, the student will be suspended from riding the bus for 1-3 days. The parents will be notified of this suspension by phone and/or mail.

Subsequent written conduct notices will increase the suspension time up to 5 days for the third violation and up to 10 days for fourth and future violations. Continuous misbehavior and conduct notices may result in loss of riding privileges for a semester.

Bus routes display the major roads on which this bus travels. The time given is when the bus will approach the road stated in pick-up/drop-off format. It is important to note that the times listed are approximate and may vary up to 15 minutes either way, especially on the first few days. Students should be ready early and at their stop, waiting for the bus. As our drivers learn the route, they will become more consistent, and timing will become more accurate. Families will be assigned a group in ParentSquare for bus delays and notifications.
