During the winter months the transportation department would like to remind the community at-large of the importance of winter safety for students who ride the bus.

Parents, please discuss the following with your students:

• Dress appropriately for cold, icy weather.
• Allow extra time to get to your bus stop.
• Stand away from where the bus stops. Buses need extra room when there is ice and snow on the roadway.
• Use the handrails when boarding or exiting the bus to prevent slipping.
• Do not stand or play on snow piles at the bus stop.
• Do not throw snowballs at the bus or at anyone.
• Never try to retrieve an item that falls around or underneath the bus.
• Instead, always report such an incident to the bus driver.
• Never chase after the bus or attempt to grab the back bumper.
