Rule 1
1. I Find My Seat and Stay Seated
Safe Seating
When I climb the bus steps, I walk calmly to my seat. I sit down right away with my bottom flat on the seat and my back against the chair. I face forward the whole ride. Staying in my seat keeps my body safe when the bus turns, bumps, or stops.
My job: Keep my bottom glued to the seat until the bus stops!
Rule 2
2. I Keep My Hands and Feet to Myself
Personal Space
Many friends share the school bus. Everyone feels happy when their personal space is respected. I rest my hands gently in my lap or hold my backpack straps. Keeping my hands and feet to myself makes the bus ride peaceful and safe for everyone.
My job: Hands folded in lap or holding my backpack!
Rule 3
3. I Speak Using My Level 1 Whisper Voice
Voice Level 1
Our bus driver has a very important job. They need to hear traffic and focus on the road. If I speak to a friend next to me, I use a soft whisper voice (Level 1). A whisper is quiet like sharing a secret. Only the person sitting right beside me can hear it.
Whisper Voice: Use a whisper when speaking to someone nearby.
0 Quiet 1 Whisper ✓
Goal
4. I Arrive Safely and Earn My Stars
Reward Time
When the bus arrives at school or at my home stop, I wait until the engine slows and the bus completely stops before standing up. When I follow my 3 bus rules, my driver, family, and teachers feel proud of me, and I earn my stars!
Following the rules helps me earn awesome rewards every week!
