Winter Safety Tips

DO...

- Leave some extra time in the morning to get to your bus stop.
- Wear bright clothing so you can be seen.
- Dress properly.
- Remember your book bags and keep all papers inside.
- Look carefully before crossing the street. Cars driving in snow will be focused on the snow and ice.
- Stand away from where the bus stops. Buses need extra room to stop when there is snow and ice.
- Walk directly away from the bus, do not stand and linger and play in the snow.
- Keep a safe distance from the bus.

DON’T...
- Play in the snow while waiting for the bus.
- Throw snowballs at the bus or anyone else.
- Slide on ice patches or driveways or in the street.
- Push or shove around the bus stop. Someone could slip on the snow and ice and slide under the wheels of the bus.

Minimizing Health Risks for Students with Life Threatening Food Allergies
Food allergies can be life threatening. The risk of accidental exposure to foods can be reduced if we all work together to minimize risk and take measures to provide a safe environment for food-allergic students.

Several buses have signs reminding students that there is “NO EATING ALLOWED ON THIS BUS”. These buses transport students with food-allergy restrictions and it is critical they are kept clean. If your student rides one of these buses, they will not be allowed to have food out of their backpack or bring food items on, such as treats for parties. These restrictions must be strictly adhered to and we appreciate everyone’s compliance to help minimize risk.
