Bus Transportation Procedures
Bus transportation is provided for any student living 1.5 miles or more from our school. Riding the bus is a privilege. However, if rules are not followed, it is a privilege that can and will be revoked. Ms. Sharon Harris, the Bus Transportation Supervisor, will be happy to discuss any concerns with you. She may be reached by phone at Aiken High School at 803-641-2507 during the school day.
Some examples of misbehavior on the school bus are:
Standing/moving while the bus is in motion
Putting head or arms outside the bus window
