Winter Safety Tips
DO...
- Leave some extra
time in the morning to get to your bus stop.
- Wear bright clothing so you can be seen.
- Dress properly.
- Remember your book bags and keep all papers
inside.
- Look
carefully before crossing the street. Cars driving
in snow will be focused on the snow and ice.
- Stand away from where the bus stops. Buses need
extra room to stop when there is snow and ice.
- Walk directly away from the bus, do not stand and
linger and play in the snow.
- Keep a safe distance from the bus.
DON’T...
-
Play in the snow
while waiting for the bus.
- Throw snowballs at the bus or anyone else.
- Slide on ice patches or driveways or in the
street.

slip on the snow and ice and slide under the wheels
of the bus.

Minimizing Health Risks for Students
with Life Threatening Food Allergies
Food allergies can be life threatening. The risk of
accidental exposure to foods can be reduced if we all work
together to minimize risk and take measures to provide a
safe environment for food-allergic students.
Several buses have signs reminding students that there is
“NO EATING ALLOWED ON THIS BUS”. These buses transport
students with food-allergy restrictions and it is critical
they are kept clean. If your student rides one of these
buses, they will not be allowed to have food out of their
backpack or bring food items on, such as treats for parties.
These restrictions must be strictly adhered to and we
appreciate everyone’s compliance to help minimize risk.
