October 16th-20th is National School Bus Safety Week which has been set aside to remind people about school bus safety.  Here are a few bus safety rules that parents can review with their children:

1)  While waiting for the bus, stay in a safe place away from the road in an area that the driver can see the child clearly as they approach the stop.

2)  Be alert to traffic:  When you get on or off the bus, look left, right, left before the child enters or crosses the road/street.

3)  When getting on or off the bus, look for the bus safety lights and make sure they are flashing.

4)  Remember to cross in front of the bus.

5) If something falls under or near the bus, tell the driver.  NEVER crawl under the bus to try and pick it up.

6) Face forward and sit correctly in your seat at all times.  

7) Do not distract the driver.

8) Follow all school bus safety rules.

School Bus Driver Appreciation Day is Wednesday, October 18th.  Please take time and thank our great drivers for the awesome job that they do on a daily basis.

We have many Congratulations for MV this past week!
