Safety takes top priority during school bus driver training sessions. Therefore, it’s essential to be familiar with certain practices for safely loading and unloading a school bus. Please review these fundamental guidelines thoroughly. Should you have any questions or need further clarification, feel free to email us for more information at info@carlosandsusana.com

While waiting for the bus:

  • Arrive at your bus stop on time and do not stand on, or near, the street while waiting for the bus.
  • Wear proper clothing suitable for the weather conditions.

When boarding the bus:

  • Arrive at your bus stop. Stay away from the bus until it comes to complete STOP and the Bus Driver signals you it is safe to board the bus.
  • If you have to cross the street to board the bus, wait for the bus driver to signal you it is safe to cross the street.
  • Enter the bus in a single file without pushing.
  • Always use the handrail while loading and unloading.

When boarding the bus:

  • Once on the bus, find your seat and sit face front until you get to your destination.
  • Always help keep the bus neat and clean. Keep belongings out of the aisle and away from the emergency exits.
  • Be cool…Follow the rules. Always listen to the driver. He/She has your best interest in mind when setting the rules.

When unloading the bus:

  • Wait until the bus comes to a complete STOP before standing up. Always use the handrail when exiting the bus.
  • Stay out of the danger zones after exiting the bus. If you can’t see the driver, the driver can’t see you. Take five giant steps away from the bus and out of the danger zone, until you can see the driver and the driver sees you. Never crawl under a bus.
  • If you must cross the street after you get off the bus, wait for the driver’s signal and then cross in front of the bus. Cross the street only after checking both ways for traffic.
  • Never run back to the bus, even if you dropped or forgot something. The driver may not be expecting you to return to the bus.

Parents and guardians are responsible for:

  •  Supervising the behavior of their children on the way to and from school bus stops and while waiting at them.

  •  Getting their children to the designated school bus stop safely and on time (no less than five (5) minutes and no more than ten (10) minutes before the scheduled pick up time) and having them dressed in clothing appropriate for the weather and season. The school bus will not wait for students who are not at the loading area when the bus arrives.
  • Getting their children safely from a designated school bus stop.
  •  Teaching, in conjunction with the school, proper procedures for safely crossing the roadway before loading and after leaving the bus.
  •  Paying for any malicious damage or vandalism done by their children to a bus. Students who cause such damages may have their school bus riding privileges suspended if the driver and school principal deem it necessary.
