Staying Safe Riding the School Bus
If your child rides a school bus, please share these important safety tips with
him or her.
• Form a line well off the roadway from where the bus stops.
• Do not push while waiting for or getting on the bus.
• Be careful and considerate of younger children.
• Never run out in front of or in back of the bus, or between the buses.
• Wait for the bus driver to signal before crossing the road.
• Obey the bus driver. They are looking out for your safety and the safety of other
passengers.
• Be considerate of other people’s property.
Working together, we can help ensure safe and
enjoyable bus rides throughout the year! STATE STREET HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATIONFOOD SERVICES COMMUNICATION FROM SCHOOL
