  from their dean.

• Drivers will:
  – Not stop along the route, or leave the route, unless specifically directed by police or in the event of a medical emergency; and
  – Adhere to all motor vehicle laws of the Commonwealth.
• No objects should be thrown from or passed between vehicles.
• Any banners, posters or displays should be aligned with NSHS Core Values
  (Choose Kindness, Listen First, Show Respect, Take Responsibility) and follow
  the rules outlined in the Newton Rights and Responsibilities handbook.
