Safety & Education
Romano's Would Like to Offer You and Your
Children a Few Safety Tips!
Don't run, walk to the school bus.
Walk on the sidewalks and well off the road. Be sure to walk facing the traffic.
Never walk between parked cars to cross the street to get to your bus stop.
If you must cross the street to get to your bus stop, cross at a crosswalk or traffic light. If you can't, be sure to stop, listen and look both ways before you cross the street.
If you have to cross the street from your bus stop to get to your bus, follow these rules: Stay on you side of the road, far away from traffic. Wait for the bus to stop and for your driver to signal you to cross. Check traffic both ways. Check traffic again. Walk directly across about 10 giant steps in front of the school bus bumper. Load the bus quickly.

Important School Bus Safety Alert
Help us Protect Your Children
As They Travel To and From School
Certain types of children's clothing can create a hazard as your child gets off the school bus. Especially dangerous are:
Long, dangling jacket or sweatshirt drawstrings
Long backpack straps
Long scarves or other loose clothing
Such clothing can be caught in the bus handrail, door, or other equipment as the child gets
off the bus. In recent years, a number of children across the U.S. have had their clothing
caught as they exited the bus. Several of these children were dragged by the bus and then
killed when the bus ran over them.
PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO CHECK YOUR CHILDREN'S CLOTHING
TO MAKE SURE IT IS SAFE.
Also, please talk with your child about the following safety rules:
Stay away from the Danger Zones around the bus.
Don't try to pick up something dropped near the bus --
the bus driver might not see you.
Remember that other motorists don't always stop
for a stopped school bus -- use extreme caution
whenever getting on or off the bus.
SCHOOL BUS SAFETY IS A TEAM EFFORT --
NOTHING IS MORE PRECIOUS THAN A
CHILD'S LIFE.
