6 school bus safety tips for teachers

The teachers have a responsibility to protect their students in and out of the classroom. In the bus, kids need a much keen supervision so as to ensure their safety.

1. Never leave little kids to walk on their own to and from the bus; always take them by the hand when they get on or off the bus and deliver them home safely.
2. Do not overload the bus with small passengers, and where seat belts are provided, ensure all the kids use them.
3. Do not allow the kids to put their hands, faces or bodies out of the windows.
4. Kids should be taught not to stand up while the bus is in motion, as doing so may put them at risk of sustaining injuries.
5. Kids must be encouraged to obey the bus driver’s instructions and avoid distracting him while driving.
6. Kids should never be transported by bus without minders to watch over them and care for them.
