Bus safety 101

Safety tips for students:

-- Be on time for your school bus and never run after or next to a bus.

-- If the windows are down on a hot day, keep your head and arms inside the bus.

-- Stay away from the Danger Zones. Areas within 10 feet to the front, back and sides of a bus are considered the most dangerous spots.

-- If you drop something near the bus, never bend down or crawl under the bus to get it -- ask your bus driver for help.
