Benton-Carroll-Salem Schools to focus on school bus safety October 21-25
Take time to give a special thank you to a B-C-S bus driver for keeping our students safe!
Our district transportation staff offers the following tips to remind your child while getting on and off the bus:
• Get to the bus stop in plenty of time
• Wait at your driver designated place of safety
• Take 10 giant steps away from the bus when unloading
• Always follow the driver’s directions for how to cross the street
• Be alert to traffic and look both ways
• If you must cross the street, always cross in front of the bus.
We recognize that school bus transportation is a partnership. Students, parents, bus drivers, school staff and motorists all have to work together to keep our children safe.
Bus drivers help to keep children safe in a number of ways:
• Drivers watch surrounding traffic closely to keep school children safe
• Drivers do their best to follow scheduled routes and times to provide regular and dependable service
• Drivers will help teach their riders safe riding practices.
Students need to know and respect the following:
• Students need to follow the bus driver’s instructions
• Students should know and remember the safe riding rules
• Wait for their bus at designated stops, standing at their driver-designated place of safety
• Move quickly to their assigned seat when boarding the bus
• Remain seated after boarding the bus
• Respect other riders on the bus
• Talk to their bus driver if they have a question or concern.
Here are some ways that parents can help:
• Review the safe riding rules with their children. Help them to understand why each rule is important
• Dress children in light colored clothing or jackets on dark mornings
• Help children to be ready at their stop before the bus arrives
• Take turns supervising bus stops for smaller children
• Do not allow children to wear items that may get caught in handrails, in doors, and on seats. Items such as drawstrings, dangling straps on book bags, and loose clothing can be particularly dangerous.
Thank you to all for keeping our students safe.
I would like to extend a special thank you to B-C-S Transportation Staff for their dedication, professionalism, patience, and resilience!
