During a bus evacuation students should always remain calm and follow the instructions of the bus driver.  Bus evacuation drills are done four times a year, so students, in the event that an accident should occur, will have the knowledge of what is expected of them.   

Front Door Evacuation-The bus driver will inform the students to evacuate through the front door.  He/she will instruct a helper to stand outside the front door to assist students exiting the bus while he/she dismisses the students from the bus.  The helper will lead the students at least 100 feet from the bus to a safe location that the bus driver has informed the helper of.  Once the bus driver has dismissed the students and is at the back of the bus, he/she will return to the front of the bus checking to make sure all students are off the bus.  Then the bus driver will join the students. 

Rear Door Evacuation-The bus driver will inform the students to evacuate through the rear door.  He/she will walk to the rear of the bus and instruct a helper(s) to open the rear door and take position outside the rear door.  The bus driver will dismiss the students and the helpers will assist them out the rear door.  (Students should sit and slide out the rear door and not jump.)  Students will be instructed to a safe place at least 100 feet away from the bus.  Once the bus driver has dismissed all students he/she will check the bus to make sure the bus is empty and exit the bus and join his/her students. 

Side Door Evacuation-The bus driver will inform the student to evacuate through the side door.  Once the driver has determined it is safe to evacuate he/she will instruct a helper(s) to take position outside the side door.  The bus driver will then dismiss the students and the helpers will assist them off the bus.  They will be instructed to a safe location at least 100 feet away from the bus.  Once the bus driver has dismissed all students he/she will check the bus to make sure the bus is empty and exit the bus and join his/her students. 

Front and Rear Door Evacuation-The bus driver will inform the students to evacuate through the front and rear doors.  He/She will instruct a helper(s) to open the rear door and take position outside the door and a helper to take position outside the front door.  The bus driver will then dismiss the students and the helpers will assist them off the bus.  They will be instructed to a safe location at least 100 feet away from the bus.  Once the bus driver has dismissed all students he/she will check the bus to make sure the bus is empty and exit the bus and join his/her students.
