School Bus Safety
If you ride a school bus ..
These are good rules to follow!
Walking to the Bus
Stop
-
Always walk on the sidewalk to the bus stop, never run. If there is
no sidewalk, walk on the far left side, facing traffic.
-
Go to the bus stop about five minutes before the bus is scheduled to
arrive. While at the bus stop, wait quietly in a safe place well away from
the road. Do not run and play while waiting.
Getting On and Off the
Bus
-
Enter the bus in line with younger students in front. Hold the handrail
while going up and down the stairs.
-
When entering the bus, go directly to a seat. Remain seated and face
forward during the entire ride.
Riding the
Bus
-
Hands should be kept to yourself at all times while riding on the bus.
Fighting and picking on others creates a dangerous bus ride.
-
Never throw things on the bus or out the windows. Keep the aisles clear
at all times. Feet should be directly in front of you on the floor and book
bags should be kept on your lap. Large instruments or sports equipment should
not block the aisle or emergency exits.
-
Never play with the emergency exits; listen to the driver and follow
instructions.
Exiting the
Bus
-
Always cross the street in front of the bus. Never go behind the bus.
If you drop something near the bus, tell the bus driver before you attempt
to pick it up, so they will know where you are.
-
Never speak to strangers at the bus stop and never get into the car
with a stranger. Always go straight home and tell you parents if a stranger
tries to talk to you or pick you up.
-
Always Respect the area which surrounds all sides of the bus. The "Danger
Zone" is ten feet wide on all sides of the bus. Always remain 10 steps away
from the bus to be out of the "Danger Zone" and where the driver can see
you.
