Kindergarten Orientation
Each year we provide the
opportunity for all the school districts to participate in our
kindergarten orientation. Our drivers are highly skilled and trained to
discuss the safe riding practices in a format that the kindergarten child
can understand.
We would be pleased to do a school bus orientation program with your
kindergarten classes either prior to or after school begins. We recommend
that parents attend to also learn about school bus safety and for them to
help reinforce safe riding practices to their child. The program begins in
the classroom with the driver discussing school bus safety and ends with a
short ride on a school bus. The program can be accomplished in an hour or
less.
We will talk briefly to students regarding waiting at the bus stop,
basic safety rules while riding the bus, boarding the bus and alighting
the bus. We emphasis the danger zone and the importance of telling the bus
driver if they drop anything under the bus. The highlight, of course,
would be the actual ride on the bus in which we will show the kindergarten
child the basic rules to follow.
We currently use the S.A.F.E. Bus Riders Program that was specifically
geared for the kindergarten rider. The program was developed by Jan
O'Hanlon-Wilson. It incorporates simple but very effective program that
uses a visual magnetic board, posters and stickers to help reinforce
S.A.F.E. bus rider ship.
