Bus Safety

Please talk with your children about staying seated while the bus is moving and listening to the Driver. If your child has a problem with another student, they should inform the Driver when exiting the bus. The Driver will handle the situation by speaking with the student or completing a conduct referral. Please review the Transportation Rules and Policy.

Flashing Red Lights

To ensure student safety, all vehicles are required by law to stop when school bus red lights are flashing. Do not move until lights are off. Violations may result in fines up to $300 and license suspension for up to 3 months.

General Procedures

• Rural Stops: Mailboxes must be clearly marked on both sides with large house numbers.
• Bus Stop Parking: Per Hellertown & Lower Saucon Police, cars parked in "No Parking" zones will be ticketed. Please leave room for school bus loading/unloading.
• Timing: Children should be at their stop 5 minutes early. (Note: Times may vary during the first 2 weeks of school).
• Different Buses: Students may only ride their assigned bus; no riding home with friends.

Kindergarten & 1st Grade Requirements

Please mark your child’s name, address, and bus stop inside their backpack. Note: No K-1 or 1st-grade student will be dropped off unless a parent/guardian is present. If you are not at the stop, your child will be returned to the Elementary School Office for pickup.
