WE WANT YOUR CHILDREN TO BE SAFE!!!

Meet The Bus

Coordinate with other parents to ensure an adult is present at the bus stop every day, especially for elementary students.

Remove Drawstrings

Clothing your children with drawstrings may not always be safe. Drawstrings can catch in playground equipment, fences, and school bus doors. Remove, shorten or replace drawstrings with another kind of fastener.
