Please review the information below with your student.

• Be at point of safety 5 minutes prior to arrival time – STATE LAW. According to Ohio Administrative Code, “Pupils shall arrive at the bus stop before the bus is scheduled to arrive” (OAC 3301-83-08 (C) (1). At Mapleton, we adhere to 5 minutes but depending on students not riding on a particular day, this time could vary to between 5-10 minutes.
• Driver will designate a point of safety spot for your student. This is 10 feet from the road, and we try to give them a landmark to know where to stand.
• If students are waiting in a vehicle in the driveway, they need to get out of the vehicle as they see the bus approaching and be in their designated point of safety spot when the bus stops.
