Safety Dog’s Bus Rider Tips | |
Stand Back
| Encourage your child to stay 10 giant steps away from the outside of the bus at all times. If they stand too close, the bus driver can’t see them. For more tips, watch First Student’s Safety Dog Says video with your child: https://vimeo.com/716501758
|
Be Patient
| It’s exciting to be first on the bus, but it’s more important to be patient. Have your child be still until the bus completely stops, wait for the bus driver and give friends plenty of room as they come on board.

Use the Handrail
| Heavy backpacks and wet shoes are no match for the handrail. Remind your child to hold on tight when getting on and off the bus to keep from tripping. For more tips, watch First Student’s Safety Dog Says video with your child: https://vimeo.com/716501758
