Be Smart: Stay School Bus-Safe


School buses are essential modes of transporta- tion, taking thousands of students to and from school every day. While school bus accidents are rare, riders should still practice safety aboard and around the bus. In the early days of education, students were educated in local schools within walking distance. If they needed to travel, it was by horse-drawn wagon. As the nation’s roadways began to evolve, so did the methods of getting children to school. Eventually school buses became the norm. In an effort to prevent injuries, representa- tives from 48 states met in 1939 to establish safety standards for school buses. Since then, several meetings, known as the National Conferences on School Transportation, have taken place to modify safety procedures and standards.


In addition to safety procedures regarding rider-


ship, school buses are built with certain standards in mind. Mirrors, lights, braking systems and the

like are regulated to provide the utmost safety to passengers. While catastrophic accidents involv- ing school buses are very rare, buses are built to handle much more than the occasional run-ins with passenger cars and light trucks.

Maintaining school bus safety is a team effort. Stu- dents need to do their part while riding the bus. Here are the safety precautions that should be followed. * Walk to the bus stop,


don’t run. * Always use caution


when crossing roadways. * Walk on the sidewalk

whenever possible. If no sidewalk is present, walk in the opposite direction of traffic to be aware of on-coming traffic. * Don’t fool around


at the bus stop. Accidents can happen when individuals are unaware of their surroundings or distracted.

* Stand at the bus stop in a safe location. Do not enter the street. * Arrive at the bus stop early so there is no need to rush and be distracted. * Wait for the school bus to come to a complete stop and for other traffic to halt before approaching the bus.

* Promptly take a seat, and remain seated throughout the entire ride. If there are safety belts present, use them. * Do not distract the bus


driver with loud yelling, music, etc.


* Don’t throw anything around the bus. * Keep the aisle clear to avoid tripping hazards. * Follow the driver’s in- structions in the event of an emergency.


* Remain seated until the bus has stopped at a particular drop-off location. * When exiting the bus, take three steps away from the bus so that visibility of the driver is improved. * Watch for traffic when crossing the street. Always cross in front of the bus. * If something is forgotten on the bus, don’t try to run back and retrieve it. The driver may not expect a student to be returning to the bus.

Kids are using more electronic devices throughout the school year than ever before. They’re on cell phones to connect with friends and family, handheld computers for homework, downloading music videos and searching the net and carrying MP3 players for jamming to music.


But because students are always on the go during the busy, hectic school year, there’s al- ways the possibility that these electronic devices don’t get fully charged at night with a tangle of cords stretching from outlets all around your house.


In fact, two-thirds of parents report that their


children use a dead cell phone battery as an ex- cuse for not communicating with them, accord- ing to an Ipsos poll conducted in July on behalf of Duracell. You can remove that excuse and set an exam- ple for your children by keeping your own cell- phones, BlackBerrys, iPods and other electronic communications devices fully charged—with- out the cords or multiple outlets. The Duracell myGrid Charging Pad is a high-tech and hassle- free charging station that eliminates the mess of chords and charges up to four electric devices at once. You just equip your cell with the compat- ible Power Sleeve or Clip and drop it on the Grid to let it charge. Busy school schedules can also have your

family scrambling one or two nights a week, preventing everyone from taking the time to charge their electronic devices at home. Send your teen to school with a reserve power source from Duracell in her purse or backpack. The Instant Charger and the Powerhouse Charger both work with BlackBerrys, iPods and most cell phones, and can provide up to 35 hours or 60 hours of extra power respectively. With so many families mobile and on the go during the school year, keeping schedules or- ganized is less of a hassle if everyone has good electronic communication equipment. Cell phones can also keep your family safer, and 90 percent of the survey respondents reported that’s the reason they gave their children cell phones. They’re great for helping all family members check in so you know where they are—espe- cially before and after school. If you do give you child a cell phone, make


sure you discuss the school rules with her. Some districts don’t allow cell phones to be on in the school building, while others just don’t allow them in the classroom. Teach your child about taking responsibility for his or her phone, fol- lowing the school rules, keeping it charged and using it appropriately. Visit Duracell.com for more information.
