ACG School Jakarta provides a bus service to cater the needs of families whose children attend the School. The School provides vans fitted with seat belts and our drivers have been trained in first aid, safety and emergency procedures. All effort has been made to accommodate all our students’ needs. This school bus service is available to take students to and from school and students attending officially listed after school activities.

School Bus rules
The School wants to ensure all students are safe and happy in the school bus. Daily bus reports are generated; any behavior issues will be reported to the Principal. After collecting 2 yellow cards, students will receive a red card and as a result will not be able to travel in the bus for 1 week.

Service not used as a result of suspension is non-refundable. Change of address will apply within 1 month after the date notification of such change is submitted. 

The school requires notice of change of address to be provided in writing and submitted to the front desk at least one month prior to the date, to be in effect. Maybe refunded on a pro-rata basis if written notice has been provided at least one month prior to cancellation. 

Students are expected to be ready at their own designated pick up time. Unless otherwise informed, the School bus will not wait for a student who has not appeared at the pick-up point (lobby, etc.). School bus may wait for a couple of minutes for a student under special circumstances (i.e. toileting) but will not wait for extended period of time.

For the morning pick-up the driver will only wait 3 minutes. This is very important as bus must arrive at school on time to start the school day. Please respect drivers and other passengers. 

School Buses shall not carry unauthorized passengers. All students traveling on School Buses shall be required to conform to rules relative to travel and behavior on a school bus as follows:

1. Chaperone is responsible – please listen and respect them
2. Wear safety belt
3. Be kind to each other
4. Hands to yourself
5. Voices quiet as do not want to disturb driver
6. Older students act responsibly
7. Belongings stay in bag until you get to school or home

 
Drop off and Pick Up routine
All students will be dropped at the school bus station.

School Bus Route, Chaperone
The School shall be responsible for rostering of buses and establishing bus routes. Each bus driver shall be provided with a list of names and addresses of all children rostered to travel on that bus.

Each bus shall carry (on a first on, last off basis) adult chaperone, or responsible senior student who will act as a bus monitor. Chaperones or monitors are responsible for the behavior on the bus, attending to needs of younger children, ensuring safety procedures, and minimizing disturbance to the driver to allow him to concentrate on his driving and road safety.

Change of address/Cancellation of Service / Other Details
Kindly inform Miss Mia (mia.sari@acgedu.com) and cc Mr Ahmad (ahmad.ahmad@acgedu.com) in your correspondence, 1 month prior to the effective pick up date in the new address. 
 
Change to Drop-Off Service on a given day
Parents occasionally need to make one-off change to the drop-off service on a given day, making other arrangements for their child to be picked up from school. In such situations, we ask that you contact Miss Mia (mia.sari@acgedu.com) and cc Mr. Ahmad (ahmad.ahmad@acgedu.com) before 9am on the day on which the change will be required. This will give sufficient time to notify class teachers, drivers and chaperones of the change.

Note: It will not be possible to switch to an earlier/later bus in such circumstances, as the schedule has been set.
