School Bus Safety
School bus safety is a shared responsibility between students, parents, and school staff.
For students, understanding and following safety rules is essential to a safe and secure ride to and from school.
For parents play a key role by teaching these safety rules to their children and reinforcing their importance. They should also ensure that children are dressed appropriately for visibility and safety, particularly in low-light conditions. Additionally, parents should establish a routine so that children know where to wait for the bus and how to safely cross the street if needed.
Open communication between parents, students, and bus drivers can further enhance safety, creating a secure and reliable transportation experience for all.
