Riding Your School Bus

[Music] you rode the school bus this morning oh we're good okay the rest of you listen to what we're going to talk about too because the class may be taking bus trips together this year so this will be important for all of us now who can remember talked about yesterday Kurt a bab driver don't cross the road until he SE the for us to well those are two good points that we'll talk more about in a little while but what should you remember even before you get to the bus stop James leave want Mr bu leave your house early so that you ride bus stop a few minutes before the bus what is something else we talked about that you should remember on the way to the bus stop don't play around on the web yes go straight from home to the bus stop we also discussed a very important thing about where walk facing the yes if there are no sidewalks walk on the side of the road facing traffic that way you can see cars coming and stay out of their way after you will stay back away from the road and be careful someone doesn't accidentally get pushed into the street don't pile books which is in the road stay off neighbors's yards and flowers and don't drop trash around the bus stop when the bus arrives stay back from the road until the bus comes to a full stop and the door is opened if you must cross the road wait until the driver signals even if there's a patrol wait for the driver to Signal before you crawl now when getting on the bus what should you remember not to crowd that's right don't crowd and use the handrail beside the steps after you are on the bus take a seat and stay seated until it is time to get off don't put books and lunches in the aisle for someone to trip over what are some of the other things you should not take on the bus Alison cans James snakes Kurt bottles dogs well you're all correct soda bottles or cans should not be taken on the bus and if you have your lunch or any other food you should not eat on the bus and Eckley you're right live animals should not be taken on the bus even if they're pet now what should you do if you want to get off at a different stop Alison get a night get a note from whom from my parents yes that is right get a note from your parents ahead of time and make sure they say when and where you were supposed to get off then then take it to the principal and have it sign your driver can't let you off at any stop except your own without a note so unless you have permission always ride the same bus and get off at your regular stop never put anything out the window this includes arms hands clothing and anything else who can think of a reason not to put things out the window Cur well that's because the bus comes close to trees and things well that's one reason often the brast comes close to tree branches road signs or cars and trucks you never know when something is going to come by and if you had your hand or arm out the window you could lose it before you knew what happened don't throw anything out of the bus it could hit someone or hit a car and cause an accident it also makes a mess we shouldn't throw chests in the bus either right the the driver has to clean up the bus every night and you can help by remembering to pick up all trash you drop don't mark on the inside of the bus buses are expensive to operate repairs are often paid for by those that cause the damage don't yell or shout while on the bus just talk loud enough for the person sitting next to you to hear and never throw anything in the bus if the driver is distracted from the road even for a moment that may be long enough to cause an accident remember bad behavior could result in you're losing the privilege of riding the bus now who remembers what we said about the emergency door okay you said never to play with the door yes never open the emergency door unless told to do so I found out that there are really two doors that can be used in an emergency you all remember what she's talking about yesterday when we had our drill remember how half of you went out the front door and the rest went out the rear who can tell me how you knew which door to use the door that is closest or easiest to get to wait your turn and get out as fast as you can if a patrol or older person is at the door let them help after you are outside get into a group away from the bus and traffic stay together so the driver can see if anyone one is missing have any of you been on a bus when a student was driving my brother drives a bus remember if a student is driving the bus you must obey him even if it is your brother don't joke or play tricks on them while you're on the bus even though you might be very good friends when you arrive at your stop stay seated until the bus stops then don't push or crowd wait your turn use the handrail when getting off when you have several books carry them so you can see the steps in front of you if you must cross the road wait until the driver gives you the signal cross far enough in front of the bus so you can see the driver and he can see you if you must walk back beside the bus stay away from the side now who remembers what we said about taking rid from the bus stop Tina don't ride with anybody don't no yes even if it's cold or raining walk on home if your parents aren't at the bus stop to meet you if you miss the bus in the morning go back home and let your parents bring you to school now that was a good review don't forget what we've talked about it might save your life or the life of a friend [Music]
