School Bus Safety Guidelines for Students and Parents:
Getting on the school bus
- 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.
