Child Bus Safety Notice for
Parents
Parents are urged to discuss
with their children the
potential dangers associated
with clothing and other
items which carry
drawstrings or straps.
These items such as
backpacks, long scarves and
coats hanging freely can get
caught in the bus door as
the student disembarks and
lead to tragedy. Please
remove all drawstrings from
student clothing and advise
your children to be aware of
these potential dangers.
A Note to Kindergarten
Parents
As newcomers to school,
kindergarten children need
to know the rules of riding
the bus. Parents play an
important role in making
this happen. Please take
time to explain to you
children the rules of school
bus safety and help us
transport your child
safely. You are required to
escort your child to and
from the bus stop so that
you can help us teach the
rules of bus safety
