Rocky View Schools (RVS) is reminding all students this autumn that everyone has a better time when they behave in a courteous, responsible, and safe manner on the school bus.
“School buses are an extension of the school and the classroom,” said Superintendent of Schools, Greg Luterbach. “Every day, RVS transports more than 13,000 students to and from school, and many additional students will use the bus during the school year to travel on field trips. Establishing clear expectations and providing positive reinforcement ensures our students get where they are going safely.”
According to an RVS press release, this school year, RVS’ bus expectations have been aligned with Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS), which are used in RVS schools and will be familiar to students.
"PBIS is a proactive, evidence-based approach that creates positive, predictable, equitable and safe learning environments where all students thrive."
New images of expected behaviours and loudness levels are prominently displayed on all RVS buses to guarantee that all children understand what positive actions are expected on the bus. Schools have been given access to instructional materials, which will be used all year long.
“These resources will support our educators and our contracted bus drivers as they communicate expected behaviours on the bus,” said Luterbach. “By establishing a shared understanding of how to ride the bus respectfully, safely and responsibly, we can make riding the bus a positive experience for everyone.”
