Winter Bus Stop Safety

• With the approach of winter, we encourage parents to talk to their child about bus stop safety.
  

• Running to the bus is extremely dangerous.

• Dress for the weather.

• Use handrails, as steps can be slippery.

• No loose articles, drawstrings, papers, etc.

Pick-up Procedures

• Be out 10 minutes before pick-up time.

• Danger Zone: This is that 15-foot area that surrounds the entire bus. Always try to keep 15 feet between you and the bus.

• Only approach the bus after it comes to a complete stop.

Drop-off Procedures

• Stay behind the white line until the door is open.

• Immediately proceed 15 feet from the bus. This is not the time to check the mail or grab the trash cans.

Crossing Procedures

• Stop and wait.

• Make eye contact.

• Only cross when given the signal.

• Horn means danger, go back quickly.
