Safety Guidelines

School Bus aisle way
At Your Bus Stop
  • Maintain social distancing when waiting for the school bus
  • Masks are recommended, not required.
  • Do not play in the street or in your neighbor's yard.
  • Be at the bus stop on time - 5 minutes before the bus arrives.
  • Wait for the bus in a single line - do not push.
  • Never talk to strangers. If you are approached by a stranger, call 911 and/or run away to safety.
  • Do not get into a car with strangers.
  • Wear clothes that are right for the weather and are bright so drivers can see you.
  • Wait for the bus driver to tell you it's safe to cross the street.

Getting on Your School Bus
  • All students must wear a cloth mask or face covering when riding the school bus
  • Wait until the bus comes to a complete stop.
  • Line up as the bus gets close - 10 steps away from the curb and socially distanced.
  • Wait for the bus driver to tell you it's safe to cross the street.
  • Take 10 giant steps in front of the bus before crossing the street in a socially distant manner.
  • Wait your turn to get on the bus. Every child will have an assigned seat.
  • The bus will be populated from back to front so students are not passing near each other.
  • We will seat a maximum of two students per seat, which is recommended by FCPH.
  • Use the handrail to get on the bus so you don't fall. Handrails will be sanitized frequently.

Riding on Your School Bus
  • Go directly to your assigned seat.
  • Stay in your seat.
  • Face the front of the bus with your feet toward the floor.
  • Keep your hands and feet out of the aisle.
  • Keep your books in your lap.
  • Do not throw things in the school bus or out the bus windows.
  • Wait for the bus to stop before standing.
  • Listen to the bus driver.

Exiting Your School Bus
  • The bus driver will direct students to exit the bus by seat number, beginning with the front of the school bus.
  • Once you have exited the school bus, please follow individual school instructions for entering the building.
