Jule Bus Riders All students that ride the Jule bus to and from school need to remember that you are on a public bus and that you need to be respectful in all of your words and actions. This means that you can not be loud and that the language you use is appropriate for others to hear that are around you. The Jule bus administrators have notified the school that students are being too loud and singing songs that include inappropriate language. Please make sure that you are being respectful while riding the bus. You are receiving this service for free. I have informed the Jule administration that we will help identify students that are being disrespectful and they will lose the privilege of riding this bus.
