School Bus

Mentor Schools-Bus Safety Procedures

As a reminder to our students, please adhere to the following bus safety procedures for safe street crossing in front of the bus:

  • Tell the driver you need to cross.  When students cross in front of the bus, the 8-way warning lights and STOP arm will be activated.  Note:  If you are unsure about where to cross the street, ask the driver to explain.  
  • After exiting the bus, move directly to the sidewalk and out of the DANGER ZONE.
  • Move forward of the bus to a spot about ten feet ahead of the front bumper.
  • Turn back to look at the bus driver and make eye contact.
  • When the driver gives the signal, cross the street while checking continuously for oncoming vehicles. 
  • Upon reaching the far edge of the bus, take a look back to the rear of the bus to be sure no vehicles are passing the bus and running through the stop arm.
  • After reaching the opposite side of the street, move onto the sidewalk and proceed directly home.
