Do not wait for the bus inside a car. Danger presents itself once the student leaves the safety of the
car and enters the street to rush to catch the bus. Have students arrive early, then wait in a straight,
orderly line at the bus stop. Also, teach your child to go home if they miss the bus and to never
chase a1er the bus on foot. It is very important to never run, or drive your student, to another bus
stop. The bus driver will not expect you at any other bus stop than your own. Lastly, work together
with your bus driver to enforce good bus safety prac$ces with your child.
