TRANSPORT POLICY

TRANSPORT POLICY

The school provides transportation for the convenience and the safety of students. The school operates its own buses on specific routes, depending on the number of students on the route.

Though we try our best, it may not always be possible to drop students at their doorstep or to accommodate requests for changes. Once a route has been finalised no changes/diversions will be entertained, and parents are requested to co-operate. If any student is found violating the code of conduct for the bus, the bus facility may be withdrawn. The onus of deciding the gravity of the situation is on the teacher in charge of the bus
