As newcomers to school, Pre-K and Kindergarten children need to know the rules of riding the bus.
Please take the time to explain school bus safety rules to your child and escort him/her to the school bus stop so that we can ensure the safety of your child.
School Bus Safety Tips
Waiting for the school bus:
Always be on time at the bus stop. (Horns are used for emergencies only; a driver will not toot a horn to let students know the bus is there.)
Wait quietly and in an orderly manner so that the bus driver can see you.
Wait for the bus 15 feet off the road. Stand back and away from moving traffic.
Never accept rides with friendly strangers who offer rides to school.
Getting on the bus:
Wait for the bus to come to a complete stop.
Never crowd around the door of the bus.
Go directly to a seat and stay seated.
Riding on the bus:
Always be courteous to the bus driver and other passengers.
Remember where the emergency exit is and how to use it.
Never put your head, arms, or hands out an open window.
Do not distract the bus driver.
Do not eat or drink on bus.
Getting off the school bus:
Wait in your seat until the bus comes to a complete stop.
Stay alert to any moving traffic.
Never cross the road until the bus driver gives you the crossing signal.
