School Bus Safety Tips

  • Have your child at the stop at least 5 minutes before the scheduled pick-up time.
  • Students should wait at least 10 feet back from the curb.
  • Students should not approach the bus until it comes to a complete stop.
  • Students should use the handrail when boarding and departing the bus.
  • Students should take their seat quickly and remain seated during the ride.
  • Students should not put any portion of their body out the bus windows.
  • Students should not throw anything out of the bus window.
  • Students should not eat or drink while on the bus.
  • If students talk... they should talk quietly.
  • Students should never walk in the Danger Zone - the 10 feet surrounding the bus. If they have to cross in front of the bus, they should be able to see the driver's face.
  • Once off the bus, students should never run back to the bus, even if they've forgotten something.
  • Students should remember to check traffic both ways before crossing.
