These are some tips for the kids about school bus safety:

• If you are waiting for a school bus, wait quietly in a safe place.  Do not run and play while waiting.
• If you are standing closer than 10 feet to the bus, the bus driver and others cannot see you.  Stay out of the danger zone!
• Enter the bus in line with younger students in front. Go directly to your seat.  Remain seated during the trip.
• Never play with the emergency exit.  Large equipment should not block the aisle or emergency exits. If there is an emergency, listen carefully to the driver and follow instructions.
• Always speak quietly on the bus, so the bus driver will not be distracted. 
• Never throw things on the bus or out the window. 
• Hands should be kept to yourself at all times. 
• Fighting and picking on others creates a dangerous bus ride.
• If something falls under or near the bus, tell the driver.  Never try to pick it up yourself.
• When you get on or off the bus, look for the bus safety lights and make sure they are flashing
• When you get on or off the bus, look left, right, left before you enter or cross the street.  Be alert to the traffic!
• When the driver says that it is safe to cross the street, remember to cross in front of the bus.
• Stay in your seat and sit quietly so the driver is not distracted.
