Article Date: Sep 30, 2024

In our schools, devices must be off and away all day. It's the Bend-La Pine way! But what about personal electronic device use on buses?


On all Bend-La Pine transportation, know the rules to make sure everyone stays safe.

✔️ Personal electronic devices are for personal use only in a manner that does not distract others.
✔️ Devices are to remain below seat backs.
✔️ Devices are not to be passed between peers.
✔️ Students are not to film, photograph, or record while riding the school bus. This includes airdropping photos or video.
✔️ All devices must remain silent (unless they are utilizing headphones to access audio).

If students are unable to adhere to these expectations, the following may occur:

1st Offense
  • Student is reminded of expectations

2nd Offense
  • Student will be asked to put their device away for the remainder of the route

3rd Offense
  • Message will be sent home regarding device concern(s)
  • Cell Phone or Electronic Device to remain with Driver for remainder of route
  • Collaboration will occur with school administration to generate device plan
