How do you get a school bus drivers certificate?

First, you take the written tests (General Knowledge, Air Brakes (if applicable), and Passenger). Then, you have to submit fingerprints and undergo a state background check (for the S endorsement, which is a passenger endorsement specifically pertaining to school buses). You'll then get a learner's permit. Once you're ready for your road test, you'll conduct a road test in a bus of the appropriate class, show that you can do an adequate pre trip inspection, and, if you pass, you get your CDL. If you do this before your background check comes back, you'll have to get a duplicate issued once it comes back, in order to have the "S" endorsement on your licence - you won't get it until you pass the background check.
