The National Safety Council has tips for parents and kids.

Here are some tips to make sure your child safely travels to school on the bus from the National Safety Council.

  • Go to the bus stop with your child to teach them the proper way to get on and off the bus.
  • Make sure your children stand six feet away (or 3 giant steps) from the curb.
  • If your child and you need to cross the street in front of the bus, walk on the side of the road until you are 10 feet ahead of the bus. You always should be able to see the bus driver, and the bus driver always should be able to see you.
