🚌 It’s National School Bus Safety Week! 🚌 Let’s keep our kids safe by following these important tips: 1. School safety starts at the bus stop! 🚌🛑 Share these tips with your kids: ⌚ Arrive 5 minutes early. 🚏 Stand 5 giant steps back from the curb. 🚌 Wait for the bus to stop, door to open, and driver’s okay before boarding. 👁️ Make sure you and the driver can see each other. 2. School Bus Drivers 🚌: The biggest risk to kids is getting on/off the bus. Stay alert, stay engaged! 3. 🟡 Yellow lights 🟡 mean the bus is stopping. 🚌 Slow down and watch for children. 🧒🧒 4. Stop for the stop-arm! 🚌 Passing it puts lives in danger. 5. School is in session! 🏫 Slow down and watch for kids near bus stops. 🚌 #NationalSchoolBusSafetyWeek #KeepKidsSafe
