Listen Busing It The school bus is a little different from a car because in addition to being a careful passenger, you need to think about how to get on and off the bus safely. Whether you ride the bus to school every day or just to field trips or band concerts once in a while, it's important to follow these rules. When you see the bus driving up, everyone waiting should get into a line. Wait until the bus stops and the driver opens the door and says it's OK to step onto the bus. Once aboard, be sure to listen to the driver's instructions, and even if you're in a hurry to grab a seat with your friends, don't rush and push. Rules for Bus Safety As with riding in a car, the best thing to do on the bus is buckle up (if the bus has seatbelts).
And play it cool when you're on the bus: No jumping, running around, or throwing things. So, a short bus ride later, you arrive at your band concert and you can't wait to blow that tuba! After you exit the bus, never walk behind it. Listen Busing It. NHTSA - Vehicle Safety. Keeping kids safe from fire.

The goal of Health Education and Physical Education programs in Minnesota is to offer students educational opportunities that promote healthy, lifelong lifestyle decisions. Working together, parents, schools, and the state of Minnesota are making a real difference in the health and well being of our students.
