HELP US PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN AS THEY TRAVEL TO AND FROM SCHOOL

Certain types of children’s clothing can create a hazard as your child gets on and off the school bus. Especially dangerous are:

·         Long dangling jacket or sweatshirt drawstrings

·         Long backpack straps

·         Long scarves or other loose clothing

Such clothing can be caught in the bus handrail, door, or other equipment as the child gets off the bus.

Please take the time to check your children’s clothing to make sure it is safe. Remove drawstrings from clothing whenever possible – at least, cut off drawstring tabs and knots.

Also, please talk with your child about the following safety rules:

·         Stay away from the danger zones around the bus.

·         Make eye contact with your driver before crossing – wait for your bus driver to signal.

·         Remember – other motorists don’t always stop for a stopped school bus – use extreme caution whenever getting on or off the bus.

·         Never try to pick up something dropped near the bus – the bus driver might not see you and you could be run over.

SCHOOL BUS SAFETY IS A TEAM EFFORT – NOTHING IS MORE PRECIOUS THAN A CHILD'S LIFE.
