First Student provides these additional winter weather school bus safety tips for students:
-
Students who walk to or wait at school bus stops should dress
appropriately for cold, icy weather. Proper outerwear includes warm
coats, gloves, hats and waterproof footwear. Passengers should not wear
clothes with toggles or dangling key chains as they can get caught in
the bus doors or on the handrail.
- Stay alert! The old adage of “stop, look and listen” is so
important for school children. Hoodies, headphones and portable
electronic devices can distract students from paying attention to
surrounding traffic.
- Students should never run after the bus. Plan ahead and allow sufficient time to get to the bus stop.
- Passengers should wait for the bus to stop completely
before approaching the bus to get on or before standing up to get off.
Always use caution when stepping on or off the bus and at crosswalks.
- Parents and students should check with their school, school
district or emergency closing alert system for any schedule delays or
cancellations. Information can generally be found on school websites,
and many districts use a phone alert system to announce changes to
school or bus schedules. School delays or closings may occur when
officials determine that weather conditions are too severe to ensure
safe travel to and from school.
