School buses are the most regulated vehicles on the road they’re designed to be safer than passenger vehicles in preventing crashes and injuries and in every state, stop-arm laws protect children from other motorists. Your child should not try to pick up the item, because the driver might not be able to see them. If your child drops something near the school bus, like a phone or book, the safest thing is for your child to tell the bus driver right away. Your child should also make eye contact with the bus driver before crossing to make sure the driver can see that they’re crossing to avoid the danger zone. If your child must cross the street in front of the bus, tell them to walk on a sidewalk or along the side of the street to a place at least five giant steps (10 feet) in front of the bus before crossing. Your child should never walk behind a school bus. Your child should use the handrails to avoid falling. When the school bus arrives, your child should wait until the bus comes to a complete stop, the door opens, and the driver says it’s okay to get on or off.
Remind your child that the bus stop is not a place to run or play. Ahead of the new school year, visit the bus stop and show your child where to wait for the bus - at least three giant steps (six feet) away from the curb.
Your child should arrive at the bus stop at least five minutes before the bus arrives. Parents, it’s important to talk to your child, or children, about bus stop safety. Reducing the Illegal Passing of School Buses
