We are delighted to invite Prekindergarten, new to the district Kindergarten and First Grade students, and their parents to the annual First Time Riders Bus Safety Program at their assigned elementary schools.

You will take a tour of a yellow bus to learn about safety and to practice daily routines such as putting on a seat belt and using the handrail. Your school’s principal will then welcome you into the building for a brief yet important orientation program.

We invite any elementary student attending a Yonkers public school for the first time this fall!
