As winter weather arrives, the Rochester School District would like to remind families of a few important safety tips for students at their bus stops:
✔ Wait for the bus’s red lights and open door before approaching.
✔ If students need to cross the street, remind them to wait for the driver’s hand signal.
✔ With icy sidewalks, students should never run to or from the bus.
✔ If the bus ever passes your stop, students should never chase it. Please contact the Transportation Department for help.
