Bus Safety Tips
Parents
Make sure your children get to the school
bus stop in plenty of time.
Discourage loosely fitting and baggy clothing that can get caught
in handrails, in swinging doors, and on seats.
The most dangerous area is at the loading and unloading areas.
Instruct your children to avoid horseplay and to stay back away
from the bus until it is okay to board.
Instruct your children to remain seated while on the bus, and
avoid horseplay or being exceptionally noisy.
It is up to seven times safer for children to ride the bus to
school vs. riding in the private passenger vehicle. Encourage your
children to take the bus.
Stop for school buses with red lights flashing...even in the
school yard!
Don't
buy student raincoats that are yellow, buy another color. The
yellow raincoat has a tendency to blend in with the yellow school
bus making it hard for motorists to see the student.
Kids
Be on time.
Never run to or from the bus.
Stand back from the curb.
Watch your step getting on the bus.
Get on the bus quickly and safely.
Don't push or shove.
Stay in your seat.
Don't yell or shout.
Always obey the driver.
Wait for the driver's signal before crossing.
Always cross at least 10 feet in front of the bus.
Never crawl under a school bus.
