It is National School Bus Safety week, reminding us all how important it is to revisit school bus safety information. The school bus is the safest way to travel to and from school, but if safety procedures are not followed before, during, and after riding, hazards may arise. The following links provide important tips for ensuring child safety from the bus stop to school or home. Please take a moment to read these tips from the National Association for Pupil Transportation.

Please review and share with your child, students, or fellow drivers about the importance of following these safety tips. As the time change approaches, some children may be walking during a time in which they cannot be easily seen by a driver. Teaching children to be vigilant is the best way to ensure their safety.
