Public Relations:

We operate some of the most visible vehicles on the road; consequently, how we perform our duties and interact with the public is a direct reflection on this school district.  Common courtesy should be extended to everyone with whom we have contact, whether we are on or off the bus.  We also need to continually think about what we say and how we say it, because our reputation is always at stake.

The respect we show others within our department also has a definite impact on the way others perceive us.  A positive attitude and a willingness to do whatever it takes to accomplish our daily mission contributes to our goal of building and maintaining a tradition of excellence.  This, in turn, projects a positive public image.

Drivers and monitors should learn to call every student who rides the bus by his/her given name. This expression of interest will assist in gaining the confidence and respect of our passengers as well as building a relationship.
