Teach your children the five rules for
getting on and off the bus safely.
When loading, stay away from the danger zone (see below) and wait for the driver's signal.
Board the bus in single file.
When unloading, look before stepping off the bus to be
sure no cars are passing on the side of the road.
Move away from the side of the bus.
Before crossing the street, take five “giant steps” out from
the front of the bus, or until the driver's face can be seen.
Wait for the driver to signal that it's safe to cross.
When crossing the street in front of the bus, look left-right-left
when coming to the edge of the bus to make sure the traffic stopped. Continue to watch for traffic when crossing.
