My First School Bus

NEW kindergartners and pre-kindergartners are invited to practice getting on and off a real school bus and learn about bus safety.

Hop On! My First School Bus Helps Kids Take a Big Step Toward Kindergarten

To help kids (and parents) prepare for that inaugural school bus ride, Chesterfield Public Library invites you to My First School Bus. This annual program gives pre-kindergarten and kindergarten students a chance to practice getting on and off a real school bus while learning about school bus safety with Chesterfield County Public Schools and Chesterfield County Police Department.

Each session will have a bus with accessibility equipment.

All rising pre-K and Kindergarten students are welcome to participate in the information session portion of the program. Only rising CCPS students will be allowed to board the bus. Children in other school systems may participate in the presentation part of the program, but may not board the school bus.

Please register only the children who will be attending.

All nine open Chesterfield Public Library locations will host My First School Bus sessions between July 20 and July 31. Sessions are offered on weekday mornings and evenings to accommodate a variety of schedules.
