With our kiddos going back to school – let’s make sure they arrive safely no matter how they get there!
Bus:

• Try to stay at least 6ft away from the curb when the bus is approaching
• If you must cross the street to get to the bus stop, always look both ways and make eye contact with your bus driver
• Stay seated while the bus is in motion

Bike:

• Always ride on the right side of the road and obey all traffic laws
• Wear a properly fitted helmet – always
• Be alert of traffic around you

Walking:

• Walk on the sidewalk if available, if not walk facing the traffic
• Always use crosswalks and look both ways before crossing
• Avoid distracted walking – take off headphones & avoid texting

Drop Off:

• Obey school zone speed limits
• Avoid distracted driving
• Make eye contact with children crossing the street
• Be patient and always let pedestrians go first
