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 before approaching the bus door. Remind your child that the bus stop is not a place to run or play. 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 is scheduled to arrive. We hope you will find a way to promote National School Bus Safety Week in your area. Here’s a few suggestions to help promote National School Bus Safety Week in your city, town, or school district: radio broadcasts, cable television announcements and programs, presentations at school committee meetings, new bus displays at shopping malls, demos of student and/or driver training, “school bus tours,” open houses and press releases. Information about the nationwide poster contest for students in grades K-8 is available at NAPT’s website: Click on the National School Bus Safety Week link on the home page under Resources for more information about the 2020 and the 2021 Poster Contests. We also thank the National School Transportation Association (NSTA), and the National Association of State Directors of Pupil Transportation Services (NASDPTS), for promoting school bus safety during National School Bus Safety Week and throughout the year! We thank the National Association of Pupil Transportation (NAPT), for providing the posters free of charge. National School Bus Safety Week is an active and evolving public education program to help promote school bus safety in your city, town or school district.
