>Have your child put everything they carry to
school in their backpack ahead of time.
>Use bright colored backpacks whenever
possible.
>Make sure children leave home on time.
-Walking to the Bus Stop
.Walk young children to the bus stop or encourage them to walk
in groups.
>Practice good pedestrian behavior: use sidewalks, stay out of
the streets, walk single file, and face traffic.
>Stop and look left, right and then left again if you must cross
the street.
-At the Bus Stop
>Have children wait in a location where the
driver can see them while driving down the
street.
>Try to avoid waiting in a house or car.
>Do not let children play in the street.
-Getting On and Off the Bus
>Warn children that if they drop something getting on/off the
bus they should never pick it up. Instead, they should tell the
driver and follow the driver’s instructions.
>Remind children to look to the right before they step off the
bus.
>If you meet your child at the bus stop after school, wait on the
side where the child will be dropped off whenever possible.
