School Bus Safety

Never pass a stopped school bus regardless of whether you are driving behind the bus or driving towards it. When the bus stops to let children get on or off, you will see flashing lights and stop signs that come out from the sides of the bus. Expect children to be in the area. Wait until the bus begins to move, and then proceed with caution as children may still be along the roadside.

BUS STOP SAFETY

School is Starting – Be Safe at the Bus Stop

  1. Be on time to the bus stop so that you and your host kids get there safely.
  2. Walk and hold hands to the stop.
  3. Stand on the sidewalk or the grass, not in the street.
  4. Wait until the bus comes to a complete stop before the children walk to the door.
  5. Let the bus driver open the door. Do not try to push it open.
  6. Remind the children to sit on the bus and not stand. If there are seat belts, remind them to put them on.
  7. Let the bus leave before you do, just in case there is a problem.
  8. Be at the afternoon return bus stop in plenty of time, before it comes. There are times when it will be early.
  9. The driver is not allowed to let small children off the bus unless someone greets them, so if you are not there the children will be taken back to school. BE THERE.
  10. The bus driver will not leave until you are safely on your side of the street, so if you need to cross the street, do it in front of the bus.
