SHES - Good ride. I sat David alone and made Jeremiah sit with his brothers in seat #1. Michael and Anna's mom told me at the stop that Billy and Michael can't sit together because they had an issue at home, so I made sure they didn't. AAS 7:13am. Head count 35.

3/25/08 Tuesday routes

AM
SHES- Good ride, seat #4 is loose on the bottom so I had to move Josie, I'll get the shop to repair that this afternoon. David asked to move out of his assigned seat 9 times!!! FOR PETES SAKE!!!!! Head count 36. AAS 7:14am.
BSMS - Trey was being awful to Brandon because Brandon was looking his direction. Rod said the F word. Torre gave me attitude when I put her in the back of the bus.....we have no room and one girl was out today and Torre had to sit in her seat and she was not happy. She wanted me to put the new girl Chastidy back there. I did that yesterday and Bianca and Kieola were ugly to her. I spoke to Bianca and Kieola today about that and they both have history with Chastidy, I didn't know this because she is brand new on our bus, so I kept her up front today and put Torre in the back. I spoke to Molly also and explained that I woud be writing a warning for her about having her hands on Tabitha, I did not tell her that Tabitha had confided in me, but I will not let her move to Tabitha's seat anymore. Trenchcoat lady (wearing a red jacket) was rcvg at the gym. AAS 8:06. Head count 55.

PM
SHES - David was hitting Josue this afternoon and I found out, he was hitting him this morning also. I moved Josue and I will write up David. David continued to stay turned around talking to people, after I spoke to David about his behavior, he asked to move several more times, I explained that he would stay in his assigned seat because he had not earned the privilege of moving. He hit the window and beat on the seat the rest of the way home. Trent was bouncing around on the seat and clapping his hands, much too loud for the bus, he will get a written warning. Jeremiah squeezed Josephs arm and left a red mark on it, I moved Joseph and I will write up Jeremiah. From now on Jeremiah will only be allowed to sit with his brothers. Daisha and Malik were arguing, bickering again....this is getting super old!!! Head count 41. AABSMS 3:25pm.
BSMS - I was packed this afternoon, I had 2 students standing. Zsaree was eating on the bus, I reminded her that if she continued it would result in a write-up, she continued and said that she will be doing it basically every day because she needs to eat due to her medication. I wrote it up and mentioned the medication thing. Jordan would not let Keiola go, he was actually holding on to her. I need to get to the bottom of this, but for today he gets a write up, he is usually so well behaved with such a great personality. Khalil was disrespectful again this afternoon, but when is he not disrespectful...I can't even recall who he was talking to, but I will have to keep a closer ear on him. He is usally in with the "too loud" crowd, but today that was Antarica and Jasmine. I congratulated Kayla for not being too loud today :) Head count 56.

Zsaree, Briana Brooks and Maya will get written warnings for electronics. Zsaree had hers on the 7th. I had intended on talking to Bianca as she got on the bus, so that she would not harass the girls all the way to school, but she missed the bus, then her "ride" drove UP THE WRONG WAY INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC on Old Airport...I could not believe it!! I feel like I should write it up but I know that the parent/guardian will be a jerk about it. I'll ask Cindy. So I spoke with Bianca at school, told her the language and actions were not acceptable and that she needs to start making better decisions. I'll write it all up on one write-up. As soon as I sat her down to talk to her, the water works started! I feel terrible, she says that her mother is going to put her in private school yada, yada, yada....I just told her she needs to choose to stay out of trouble.

Per cindy write up Bianca for the way she was brought to the bus (a warning).

3/13/08 Routes *Inspection*

AM
SHES- Very good ride this morning. Nothing from either parent that called in yesterday, but I will take the tape to Cindy, I have made notes where Jasmine is telling her teacher that she did threaten the girl and where the mother boarded my bus, so that Cindy can find them on the tape. Head count 39. AAS 7:15.
BSMS - Good ride. Head count 49. AAS 8:10 Trenchcoat lady was there when I unloaded. We practiced Emergency Evacuation and did it in 1:28 seconds and that was with Angelica on crutches!! WOW!! I also spoke to some of the oldest students about some of the procedures when we evacuate....I'm just taking it slow and making sure they know what to do :)
PM
SHES - As I was going over the daily rules, I asked for "5" and Mariah continued to talk to Breanu and Athena the entire time I was trying to talk, despite what her mother thinks, she just isn't perfect, she is sweet and overall a good kid, just not perfect! Brandon was TA one time, thats not bad for him, but Payton would not face the front which is strange for him...he was TA 3 times! Head count 40. AAS 3:20.
BSMS - Good ride, no complaints from me. But right at the end of the route, Molly and Tabitha and Carol Jane came to the front and they were all very, very upset about more things that Bianca had said.

3-12-08 Routes

AM
SHES- Good ride, kept the trouble students in the front except Jasmine, she didn't ride but Natalie and Kayla Dees did! Head count 33. AAS 7:15. Timed Emergency Evacuation 40 seconds!
BSMS - Good ride, we talked about evacuation and predators which is a good reason to listen to adult when evacuating. Head count 48. AAS 8:10 trenchcoat lady was in front of gym wearing a red coat, I unloaded there. Pumped 30 gallons fuel.
PM
SHES - At the school Jasmine's teacher got on the bus to try to take Jasmine's side, when I explained to the teacher that I heard with my own ears, Jasmine threaten Kinslei, she asked Jasmine "did you say that?" and Jasmine said yes. I know that Jasmine is a good student and a good person, but I had to write up a threat that I heard myself! I will keep Kinslei up front and Jasmine and Ryan in the back. Jeremiah didn't ride the bus, he is injured, so his twin brothers (K) had to have a receiver, nobody was at the stop, so I pulled to the driveway and blew the horn. Jeremiah came to the door so I let the twins off and as soon as they got off the steps a woman boarded my bus all the way up the steps and into my face! It was Jasmine's mother and she was mad! I handled her just fine, but I was stern and told her to exit my bus, I explained that I had to get the kids home and she was welcome to call my supervisor, so I gave her Cindy's number, lol. On my way to BSMS, 200 radioed and asked me to call my super after my route, I guess she did call Cindy, rotfl! Trent was bugging Ariel again, I will have to move him up front. Adam was writing on the seat, UGH!! He was using an eraser thank goodness, but these twins are gonna kill me! Heat count 41. AAS 3:22.
BSMS - Before we left the school Kayla was hanging out the window yelling/threatening another girl, directly in front of a teacher (short female with whitish grey hair). I yelled 3 times trying to get Kayla to be quiet but she totally ignored me, so when she called me to tell me that she didn't have enough room in her seat, I told her: "You ignored me when I called you, so I am doing the same". She half-sat half-stood in her seat. The teacher boarded my bus to tell me that Kayla was having a bad day and had already started with Antarica and she turned to Antarica and Antarica smiled and said "I'm gonna be good" and she was, the entire ride! After Antarica got off the bus, I asked Kayla to come talk to me, and I explained to her that she owes me the same courtesy as she expects, and asked her about this other girl, she siad it wasn't over with the other girl and it would prolly go down at school, she assured me not on the bus. But she said she can't make any promises about Antarica, I told her if anything goes down on the bus, there will be a lot more room in the seat where she sat and the seat where Antarica sat, cause they would be off the bus! After most of the students had gotten off the bus Molly and Brianna Blair talked to me about Biance. Molly said that something is wrong with Bianca because she has been super mean to people all day in school and on the bus she called Molly (one of her best friends) a white bitch. I can't even remember everything that Molly and Brianna told me so I am going to listen to the conversation again on the tape and write Bianca up for language and such. Head count 54.

After I got home I called Cindy and it seems that Mariah's mother is complaining. Saying that I have 4 students in her seat and that she has to stand??? WHAT???? Mariah was standing, turned around, talking to Jillian and Morgan.....all three were given bus rules to write and I only asked Mariah to write 1 sentence!! Next time it will be a straight write up, NO MORE WARNINGS!!!!
