Like the potential safety hazards lurking around the home, getting on the school bus can also bring its own set of dangers. The objective of the Danger Rangers is to "steer" you in the direction of preventing accidents from occurring, and there area several important precautions that parents should be aware of when it comes to bus safety.

Parents should always make sure that someone is supervising children at the bus stop to make certain clear ground rules are in place and are being followed – particularly rules that prohibit horseplay in and around the street.
Teach children to ask the bus driver for help in picking up anything they may have dropped around the bus, as children retrieving dropped articles are oftentimes hit by the bus or another vehicle because they are not seen by the bus driver or by oncoming traffic.
Children should be asked to take five large steps away from the bus and make sure that the bus driver can see you and look you directly in the eyes to signal it is OK to cross the street. It is still very important that children also look both ways as they cross the street.
