School Transport 2021/22 School Transport Policy 2021/2022 Our priority in Limerick ETSS is to ensure a safe, positive, supportive and optimal educational environment for all. Consequently, high expectations will be communicated to and required from all members of the school community. The philosophical foundations of our Code of Positive Behaviour are care, respect, positivity and personal responsibility (Restorative Practice). This School Transport Policy works in conjunction with the Limerick ETSS Code of Positive Behaviour, Anti-Bullying Policy, Suspension and Expulsion Policies. The Code of Positive behaviour also applies while on all school outings, sporting events and trips etc. Please note that the following strict protocols are in place on the school bus as follows: ● Students are assigned a specific bus for a specific route. Under no circumstances should a student use a different school bus other than the one assigned to them. Furthermore, students must not alight the bus at an alternative bus stop unless the school has been notified by parents/carers. ● Students will be assigned a seat for the entire year and must remain in this seat at all times. The school reserves the right to amend seating arrangements where necessary. ● Face coverings are mandatory and must be worn at all times (subject to government public safety guidelines). ● Eating or drinking is strictly not permitted. ● Hand sanitiser must be used when boarding and alighting the bus (subject to government public safety guidelines). ● All students will be assigned an ID card with details of their bus and seat allocation in September. This should be made visible to the bus driver when boarding the bus. ● Students must follow the instructions of the bus driver at all times. ● Seat belts must be worn at all times. Students are not permitted to stand in the bus when it is moving. ● The Code of Positive Behaviour applies to all students using the bus service. In the event that a student is deemed to be in breach of the Code of Positive Behaviour and/or COVID-19 protocols while using the bus service, the school reserves the right to remove him/her from the bus service if deemed to be in the interest of safety, health and wellbeing of others. This list is not exhaustive.
