Per state regulations, Kentucky school districts must provide instruction in school bus pupil safety each school year to all students. Even though some students do not ride to and/or from school, they may ride the bus for field trips, sports, or other school activities, so all students must receive safety instructions. 

School bus drivers use a flashing signal light system to alert motorists of what is about to happen:

• Yellow flashing lights indicate that the bus is preparing to stop to load or unload children. Motorists should slow down and prepare to stop their vehicles.

• Red flashing lights and extended stop arms indicate that the bus has stopped and that children are getting on or off the bus. Motorists must stop their cars and wait until the red lights stop flashing, the extended stop sign is withdrawn and the bus begins moving before they can start moving again.

Lyrics to song in video: 

 Together: Let's learn about school bus safety................ Before we reach our school bus seat. We always check for cars in the street.

We look left and right in front and behind us and always make sure our bus driver can find us. Let's wait for a signal before we go make eye contact. Great. A hand up means wait this wait to cross and then we will know.
