Bus Safety Tips

Remember - loading and unloading remains the moment of greatest potential risk for students using school buses. Simply put, there is inherent danger involved in children getting on and off a large vehicle stopped in the roadway.

Safety Tips for Students:

• Students should be prepared and at the bus stop at least 10 minutes prior to pick up time.
• Demonstrate safe behavior at the bus stop.
• Do not move towards an approaching bus until it is completely stopped & the driver signals that it is safe.
• Read and abide by the bus rules poster, which is located inside of every school bus.
• Tell the bus driver, teacher, or parent if something or someone makes you feel unsafe at the bus stop or on the bus.
