If your child will not be returning on Sunday, please notify Gian Calaci, Weekends Home Coordinator at (512) 206-9231 or (512) 844-9362 and their dorm manager. Thank you. This allows us plenty of time to adjust staffing as needed.

Weekends Home Vehicle Rules

1. Respect Others’ Rights. Students must respect the rights and privileges of other students and Weekends Home staff.
2. Respect Others’ Property. Students must respect the property of others.
3. Cooperate with Staff. Students must cooperate with or assist the Weekends Home staff in maintaining safety, order, and discipline.
4. Seatbelts. Students are to remain seated and buckled in their seats as long as the vehicle is in route.
5. Entertainment. Your child is likely to enjoy a smoother bus trip if they carry preferred music, toys, etc. Please remember to provide spare batteries for the four-hour trips. We are happy to work with the team in establishing a supportive bus routine for your child.
6. Headsets Required! All radios, CD players, keyboards, electronic toys, etc. must be used with a headset unless Weekends Home staff has given permission otherwise.
7. SHH! Students must keep all noise levels as low as possible.
8. Rest Stops. Students must cooperate to make each rest stop as safe and efficient as possible. Students will not be able to purchase snacks or drinks at rest stops. All students must be under supervision of a Weekends Home staff person at all times during the rest stop.
9. Glass and other prohibited items.  Students may not bring glass objects or drinks without a screw top lid onto the vehicle. Students may not bring large drinks onto the bus. If you are sending your child with snacks, please send them with one serving size only, pack the rest in their luggage for later. Students who cannot regulate their serving sizes often end up sick on the bus which results in: discomfort, illness and unplanned stops.
10. No Cologne, Aerosols or Sprays. Students may not bring aerosols or sprays (such as perfumes, colognes, etc.) into the seating area of the vehicle. Cologne and perfumes are discouraged because of close quarters and students with respiratory conditions.
11. No Hanging Out the Window. Students must not throw or hang anything out of the window of the vehicle.
12. We have several students with serious food allergies. If your student’s bus has a food restriction please follow this closely and understand that food allergies can cause serious and sudden emergencies
13. The rules of the student code of conduct apply at all times on the Weekends Home vehicles.
