Getting On and
Off the Bus
|
|
 |
Warn children that if they drop something, they should never pick it up. Instead, they should tell the driver and follow the driver's instructions. If they bend over to pick up a dropped object, they might not be seen by the driver and could be hurt if the driver pulls away from the stop. |
|
Remind children to look to the right before they step off the bus. Drivers in a hurry sometimes try to sneak by busses on the right. |
|
Teach your children to secure loose drawstrings and other objects that may get caught in the handrail or door of the bus as they are exiting. |
|
Give your child a note or follow the school's procedures if you would like for the child to get off at a stop other than the one they are assigned. The driver isn't allowed to let a child off at another stop without written permission. |
|
If you meet your child at the bus stop after school, wait on the side where the child will be dropped off, not across the street. Children can be so excited at seeing you after school that they dash across the street and forget the safety rules. |
