Dances

The school’s behavior policy applies to dances as well as all other programs and places in the school.
  • Proper attire is required in accordance with Windsor’s Dress Policy.
  • Permission from the principal to bring visitors is required one week in advance of the dance.
  • A parent must accompany students arriving late.
  • Students will not be admitted a half hour after the dance begins.

Buses

Buses are equipped with video cameras, which will record student behavior.

Bus riding is a privilege, which can be revoked if a student misbehaves on the bus. The driver is in charge of the bus and it is expected that students will be courteous and helpful to ensure a safe ride. The driver may assign seats.
Pupils should be at pick-up points on time. The driver is not expected to wait for students who are not at the stop

Each driver for the purpose of safe transportation of all students will enforce the following specific rules.

Bus Conduct Rules

 

  1. Pupils are to get on and off the bus only at their regular bus stops unless a written note from home is brought to the principal and he/she agrees to accept the request, and so informs the bus driver.
