Welcome to CPS PBS Bus Expectations!

 

Columbia Public School Bus Rider Expectations:

I am Safe…

I keep my hands, feet and belongings to myself and out of the aisle

I stay seated and facing forward

 

I am Respectful…

     I use an inside voice

     I use kind words

     I listen to the bus driver

     I do not eat, drink or chew gum

 

To provide consistency across buildings and buses, districtwide bus riding expectations listed above have been developed. Check out the resources below to help teach student riders how to be safe and respectful on the bus ride to and from school each day.

Essential Features Planning Sheet: This is an example of some steps a PBS team might take to address all the PBS Essential Features for bus.  This is not an exhaustive list.

Social Stories have been written for use whole class at the beginning of the year to teach and/or review the exemplars of the school PBS Expectations in a variety of settings. These Social Stories are also an excellent resource for re-teaching to small groups or individual students as needed. (Note the images make these social stories files openly VERY slowly!)
