Bus Safety Tips

 

Please review these safety issues with your children.

 

1. Leave home early enough to arrive at your bus stop on time.


2. Wait for your bus in a safe place – well off the road.


3. Enter your bus in an orderly manner, and take your seat.


4. Follow instructions of your school bus driver.


5. Remain in your seat while your bus is in motion.


6. Keep your head and arms inside the bus at all times.


7. Keep aisles clear at all times.


8. Remain quiet and orderly. When the bus driver has to watch you, they can’t watch the road.


9. Be courteous to your school bus driver and fellow passengers.


10. Be alert to traffic when leaving the bus.


If your child will not be on their regular bus, please send a note to school for your child to obtain a bus pass.  Also, please send a note if you will be picking your child up at school instead of them riding the bus as usual.
