School bus safety includes a role for everyone!

The following information provides guidance that will ensure that KMC students arrive safely by bus to and from school:

– Ensure that children know and use the safest route possible to and from the bus stop.
– Parents are advised to teach children how to use crosswalks, pedestrian crossings, traffic lights and how to cross the street.
– Children should wear clothing that is easily visible to motorists Children should practice safe behavior to and from the bus stop.
– Parents should teach their children to remain on the sidewalk and wait for the bus to depart before attempting to cross the street. Otherwise, a child attempting to cross a street in front of or behind a bus risks being injured by a motorist that is unable to see the child.
– Motorists on German roads may pass a school bus that is loading or unloading.
– Parents should talk with children about their behavior when riding in the family car and on the school bus.
