Rules & Expectations

We expect to have an excellent year together.  However, for the safety and enjoyment of everyone, there will be some rules and expectations that students must obey.  These are in addition to the Rules and Responsibilities section of the student handbook available at every school and established by the Central Kitsap School District.  Please remember that any misconduct deemed serious enough by a director or head chaperone could result in expulsion from ski school without refund, as well as the district's disciplinary procedures.
The Bus:

  1. This is a school function. Obscene and profane language are unacceptable on the bus, just like it would be in a classroom.

  2. Again, school function - public displays of affection are not appropriate for this setting. Rules 1 and 2 fall under "sexual harassment" of the district's disciplinary code and can have serious consequences.

  3. For Safety, glass containers will not be allowed on the bus.
     

  4. Please remain on the bus while the driver installs or removes chains.
     

  5. Please remain seated and reasonably quiet while bus is moving.


    6.  

  6. Please keep bus clean.  Student clean-up groups will be formed by chaperones.
     

  7. No public music or video devices are allowed. Personal media devices such as iPods or disc players are allowed but you assume the risk bringing these devices to ski school. CK Ski School can not be responsible for the theft or misplacement of personal items.
     

  8. Nothing is to be passed or extended outside or inside the bus windows.
     

  9. To prevent expensive damage, students are to keep off seat backs and avoid placing or leaning equipment on the seats or against the bus.
     

  10. Please keep all windows clear (especially rear window).  Do not obstruct with gear, signs, or your body.
     

  11. Please keep your skis and poles fastened together when loading.
     

  12. Students are not to return to the bus while at the Pass until 15 minutes before the announced return time. Plan on eating lunch in the lodges and acquiring a locker/basket for items you want to access or keep safe during your time at the mountain.
     

  13. Please be sensitive to the serious job the bus driver and chaperones have in making your trips as safe as possible.  Always show respect.


 The Ferry:

  1. The ferry is a public environment.  Please do not infringe on the rights of the general public with excessive noise or movement.  i.e. running and yelling or climbing across furniture.
     

  2. Having departed the bus, all skiers and boarders shall remain inside the ferry on the passenger deck until instructed to return to the bus.
     

  3. USE THE RESTROOM BEFORE YOU LEAVE THE FERRY. ALLOW EXTRA TIME.


 Lessons:

  1. Skiers and boarders are to attend all lessons.  They need to be mindful of time and not be late.  Morning Classes leave the meeting area at 10 o'clock. Plan on showing up at the lesson meeting place 10 minutes early.

  2. We are currently working on a link where parents and participants can review their attendance record. We will alert all participants with a bulletin when this option is available.


Snow Rider Responsibility Code:

Regardless if you ski or snowboard, always show courtesy to others and be aware that there are elements of risk in skiing that common sense and personal awareness can help reduce. Observe the codes listed below and share with other skiers the responsibility for a great skiing experience.

Ski or ride under control and in such a manner that you can stop
     and avoid other people and objects.
 When skiing or riding and overtaking another person, avoid the
     people below you.
 Do not stop where you obstruct a trail or are not visible from
     above.
 When entering a trail or starting downhill, yield to other skiers
     and snowboarders.
 All skiers and snowboarders shall use devices to help
     prevent runaway skis and boards.
 Stay off closed trails and posted areas and observe all
     posted signs.
 Prior to using any lift, you must have the knowledge and
     ability to load, ride and unload safely.

Know the code.  It's your responsibility.  Click here for additional safety information from the National Ski Patrol.
