🚍✨ #SchoolBusSafetyWeek ✨🚍
When you’re stopped for a school bus along your daily commute, you’re following the law to help keep children safe as they get on and off. Even with clear instructions from the driver, some kids might still attempt to run across the road behind the bus out of excitement after a school day. Drivers educate students to never cross behind, but it’s important to stay vigilant and ready for the unexpected.
Parents, caregivers, and students let’s keep safety top of mind by reviewing the proper procedures for crossing in front of a bus together. Here are some important tips:
🔍 Stay alert—the bus driver is keeping watch and will honk if there’s any danger.
🚸 Always cross in front of the bus, never behind.
👣 Get ready by waiting for the driver’s instructions 10 giant steps ahead of the bus before crossing.
✋ Until the driver signals, wait, stay put.
👍 A thumbs up from the driver means it’s safe to cross.
📣 If the driver honks, that means STOP immediately.
🚶 Walk, don’t run across the road.
Let’s all work together to keep our students safe and our roads secure for everyone! 🚌💛
The WCHS Golf Banquet is on Tuesday, October 29.
