School Bus Safety Reminders for Students and Families

At qathet School District, we want every student to have a safe and positive experience getting to and from school. As a friendly reminder, students are encouraged to show kindness and respect at bus stops and on the bus, just as they would at school. 

We invite parents and caregivers to take a few moments to review school bus safety expectations with their children and talk about how we can all help make the bus ride a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.

Here are some important reminders about getting on & off the bus safely:

• Line up nicely. Wait your turn and keep the line moving.
• Go to your assigned stop and make sure you always wait at the right bus stop.
• Be kind and respectful to each other. Use kind words, listen, and give others space.
• Swipe your card. Remember to swipe on and off every ride! 
• Cross in FRONT of the bus. Never walk behind the bus where the driver can’t see you. 
• Wait for the flashing lights. Only cross while bus lights are flashing!
