School Bus Safety Guidelines for Students and Parents: 

• Make sure children arrive 10 minutes prior to the arrival of the bus. Parents should NEVER try to catch a bus if their child misses the bus. Instead, please drive your child directly to school to ensure his/her safety.
• When waiting for the bus, instruct children to stay away from traffic and avoid roughhousing or other behavior.
• Keep children away from the street or road as the school bus approaches – Make sure your child is mindful of the
• Bus Danger Zone – the area around a bus where children are in most danger. Children should stay 10 feet away from the bus and never go behind it.
• Instruct children to wait until the bus has stopped completely and the bus driver signals that it’s OK to approach the bus before stepping onto the roadway.

Please share with your child that loud talking or other noise can distract the bus driver. It is required that students respect those around them and the requests of the bus driver.
Children should never put their head, arms or hands out of the window, nor should they throw anything out of the window.
Keep aisles clear -- books or bags are tripping hazards and can block the exit in an emergency.
Children should wait for the bus to stop completely before getting up from their seat.
Children may only bring items onto the bus that will fit in their laps. If large projects need to be brought to school, please arrange alternative transportation for your child.
