Would you like to receive MLC Outreach Push Notifications?

Parents please review the following winter safety tips with your children who walk to and from

the bus stops or schools:

Dress appropriately for cold weather: sweaters, pants, winter coats, hats, scarves, socks and boots (Bus

evacuations and breakdowns are always a possibility).

Allow extra travel time to get to the bus stop or school.

Wear bright jackets or coats so bus drivers can easily see you in the morning or evening.

Stand at least 10 steps back from the road and wait for the bus to stop and open the door before

approaching.

Do not walk or play on snow mounds or ice within 10 feet of a roadway.

Do not cross the street at your bus stop until all traffic has come to complete stop and the bus driver

has signaled that is safe to cross.
