Dear Parents/Guardians of EMES Bus Riders,

The letter is to inform you that First Student will be installing cameras on our busses over February vacation.  Our primary goal is to transport students safely to and from school. In order to accomplish this goal, we need the cooperation of our bus riders.  Appropriate student behavior while entering, riding, and leaving the bus contribute to safe transportation.  Such conduct makes it possible for the driver to give full attention to the roadway and other drivers. 

Having cameras on the buses will allow us to monitor the behaviors and enhance the safety of your children.  The EMES Bus Discipline Policy states “Student behavior may be monitored by video cameras and other monitoring procedures.”  Please be assured that no persons, except the Administration may view the videos to protect the FERPA rights of all our children.  

Thank you for your support for helping us with compliance of bus expectations!

Best,

Marion
