Your child should never walk behind a school bus. Your child should use the handrails to avoid falling. When the school bus arrives, your child should wait until the bus comes to a complete stop, the door opens, and the driver says it’s okay to get on or off. Remind your child that the bus stop is not a place to run or play. Ahead of the new school year, visit the bus stop and show your child where to wait for the bus, at least ten feet - five giant steps - away from the curb. Your child should arrive at the bus stop at least five minutes before the bus arrives. Parents, it’s important to talk to your child, or children, about bus stop safety.
