*Wellness Tip from the Nurse:*
School bus safety tips from your school nurse.
• Wait for the bus, with no horsing around, wait for the bus to stop before
approaching it from the curb.
• Do not move around on the bus.
• Check to see that no other traffic is coming before crossing the street.
• Make sure you walk where you can see the bus driver (which means the
driver will be able to see you, too).
