More than 23 million kids ride a
school bus everyday. And it's up
to those kids to take some safety
precautions when it comes to
waiting for and riding on the bus.
Boarding the school bus...
• Do not approach the bus until it stops
completely, then wait for the driver's signal.
• Enter the bus in single file. Do not push.
• Use the handrail
• Take a seat quickly and sit facing forward.
Riding the bus...
• Always obey school bus rules
• Remain seated throughout the ride
• Keep your arms, hands and head inside the
bus
• Help keep the bus neat & clean
• Do not put belongings in the aisle. Keep
them away from emergency exits.
• Be courteous to the driver and other riders.
• Listen to any directions the driver gives you.
• Do not make noises or gestures that distract
the driver or annoy others.
Leaving the bus...
• Do not stand until the bus comes to a
complete stop.
• Never walk behind the school bus.
- If you can't see the driver, the driver prob-
ably cannot see you.
%
• Never talk to strangers
• Never accept anything from a stranger
• Do not agree to anything suggested by a stranger.
• Walk away if a person makes you feel uncomfortable
• Do not accept a ride from or go with a stranger
• Know you phone number and the number of a close
friend or relative.
If you are approached by a stranger or a stranger touches you.
Shout NO! and get away quickly. Find an adult you
trust, such as your parents, or a teacher. If you cannot
find an adult, call 911 and do not hang up until the
person on the phone says you can, and follow all of
his/her instructions.
It is important to remember what the person
ooks like what he/she is wearing and what kin<
of car he/she was driving. Even if you are
afraid about what happened, it is not youi^
fault, and it is very important to tell
your parents!

Many kids spend some time before or after school home alone. Whether it's just a few
minutes or a few hours, there are things those kids should know.
• Have set times to call your parents to make
sure everything is OK.
• Organize at home activities to keep from
getting bored.
• If someone calls, never tell them you are
home alone. Take a number so your
parents can return the call.
• Never open the door to a stranger. If you
are nervous about the stranger, call a
neighbor or nearby adult.
• Don't use appliances or sharp knives
without permission.
• Do not enter the house if the door is open or a window
is broken. Go to a neighbor's house and call the police
and your parents.
• If there is a fire or you smell smoke leave the house
immediately. Go to a neighbors house and call the fire
department.
Most importantly, talk to your parents about what you
should do in certain situations. That way, if the power
goes off or your pet gets hurt, you'll know what to do.
