As parents, you are an important part of a total safety program for children who travel by school bus. Children need to learn to be safe pedestrians as they walk to and from the bus, and to be safe riders when they’re on the bus. Make sure they leave home on time so that they walk to the bus stop and arrive five minutes before the bus is due. Running can be dangerous.

Bus Rules 

In order to ensure all students safe transportation while riding on a school bus, the following rules must be followed:

1. Arrive at the bus stop 5 minutes early.
