Student Safety – The Bus Driver’s #1 Priority
The school bus driver’s
number one priority is the safety of your child. In order to drive safely and
efficiently at all times, it is important that every student behaves in a
responsible manner on the bus. Please reinforce the importance of bus safety
with your child by reviewing the following bus safety rules.
While waiting for the bus:
-
Arrive
at your bus stop five minutes before your designated stop time.
-
Wait
for the bus in a safe, visible area off the road.
-
If
the bus stop is at your house – you should be outside waiting for the bus.
Boarding the bus:
-
Wait
for the bus to come to a complete stop.
-
Wait
for the driver to signal you to board the bus.
-
Look
both ways before crossing the road.
-
Use
the handrail when entering the bus.
-
Go
directly to your seat and sit down.
-
Follow
the driver’s directions at all times.
While on the bus:
-
Remain
seated while the bus is in motion.
-
Keep
the aisle clear at all times so the driver can see out the back door.
-
Keep
your hands and head inside the bus at all times.
-
Do
not throw objects on the bus or out the windows.
-
Drinking
and eating are not allowed on the bus.
-
Never
scream or shout. Talk to your friends in a quiet voice.

Fighting
and inappropriate language are not permitted on the bus.
-
Behave
on the bus the same way you do in the classroom.
Leaving the bus:
-
Remain
seated until the bus comes to a complete stop.
-
Use
the handrail when exiting the bus.
-
Make
sure you look down the right hand side of the bus before exiting.
-
Look
for the driver’s signal before crossing the road. Watch for traffic: look
left, right and then left again to make sure all traffic has stopped.
-
Never
get off the bus at another stop without parent’s permission.
-
Never
stop to pick up an item that you have dropped near the bus or in the street.
-
Go
directly home. Never talk to strangers.
To
further promote the safety of our students, video cameras may be used to monitor
student’s behavior on the school bus.
