…to help ensure your children arrive to and from school safely:
| 1. Get to the school bus stop early enough to avoid running across the street. |
| 2. Never run after the bus if it has already left the bus stop. |
| 3. When waiting for the bus, stay away from traffic. Line up at least five giant steps away from the curb or road way. |
| 4. Never push when getting on or off the school bus. |
| 5. Be aware – Cross with Care! Cross only after the school bus has come to a complete stop and all traffic has halted. |
| 6. When crossing in front of the bus, walk a minimum of 10 feet ahead so the driver can see you clearly. Never cross the street behind the school bus. |
| 7.When the school bus is moving, always stay in your seat. Never put your arms or head out the windows. |
| 8.Talk quietly and avoid distracting your school bus driver in transit. |
| 9. Ensure that items like backpacks, band equipment, or sports equipment do not block the aisles or emergency exits. |
| 10. Do not tamper with the emergency exits. If there is an emergency, listen to the school bus driver. |
…to protect your privacy and your child’s safety online
| 1. Be cautious on sharing first day of school photos on social media. |
| 2. Avoid posting your child’s personal details like name, age, name of school, school bus number. |
| 3. Be Careful of what’s in the background of your pictures you do post, such as street name, your house number or address. |
| 4. Keep family information private on social media to help prevent identity theft. |
