National School Bus Safety Week is here! 🚌 🚌 Safety is a team effort! Students, families, staff, and other drivers all play an important role in keeping safe around school buses. Here are some important safety tips: ➡️ Arrive at your stop at least five minutes early and stand on the sidewalk/ at least six feet from the road. ➡️ Board the bus one at a time, hold the handrail, and take a seat! ➡️ Stay seated at all times, and keep the aisle clear. ➡️ Listen to the bus driver/bus aide at all times. ➡️ When exiting the bus, use the handrails, and wait for the driver’s signal before crossing the road. #SchoolBusSafetyWeek
