As our kids head back to school, let's make sure they're safe at the bus stop.

Here are some tips to keep in mind:
• Stand at least six feet from the curb
• Learn traffic safety—look both ways before crossing the street
• Arrive early at the bus stop and always listen to the driver
It is best if children are accompanied by adults at the bus stop. We can work together to keep every child safe. Spread the word! 📚🚌
