October 21-25, 2024 is National School Bus Safety Week!

1. School safety starts at the bus stop.
Share these tips with your children:
Arrive at the bus stop five minutes early.
Stand five giant steps away from the curb.
Wait until the bus stops, the door opens, and the driver says it’s okay before stepping onto the bus.
Be sure the bus driver can always see you, and you can see the bus driver.
2. School Bus Drivers : The greatest risk to a child isn’t riding a school bus, but approaching or leaving one. Stay alert. Stay engaged. Keep them safe.
3. Yellow lights on a school bus indicate the bus is preparing to stop. If you’re driving, slow down, stay alert, and watch out for children.
4. See the school bus stop-arm? Time to STOP. Racing past the arm puts young lives in jeopardy.
5. School is in session! That means more children are outside waiting for the bus during certain hours. Slow down and watch for children playing and gathering near the bus stop.
