First Student offers these winter weather safety tips:

• Motorists should use extra precaution when approaching or following a school bus as they make frequent stops loading and unloading students. Laws in all states require motorists to stop when the school bus stop arm is extended and red lights are flashing.
• Students who walk to or wait at school bus stops should dress appropriately for cold, icy weather. Proper outerwear includes warm coats, gloves, hats and waterproof footwear. Passengers should not wear clothes with toggles or dangling key chains as they can get caught in the bus doors or on the handrail.
• Passengers should wait for the bus to stop completely before approaching the bus to get on or before standing up to get off. Always use caution when stepping on or off the bus.
• Students should never run after the bus. Plan ahead and allow sufficient time to get to the bus stop.
• Students should stay away from and out of the streets, particularly in snowy, icy weather.
• Parents and students should check with their school, school district or emergency closing alert system for any schedule delays or cancellations. Information can generally be found on school websites, and many districts use a phone alert system to announce changes to school or bus schedules. School delays or closings may occur when officials determine that weather conditions are too severe to ensure safe travel to and from school.

Keep Kids Safe...

On January 1, 2010 a new Illinois law went into effect regarding cell phone usage in school zones. The new law states that a person, regardless of age, may not use a wireless phone at any time while operating a motor vehicle on a roadway in a school speed zone. There are exceptions for a person engaged in an emergency and when the phone is in voice-activated mode.

Another new law that began on January 1, 2010, states it is illegal to compose, send or read text messages, read or compose e-mail, look at the Internet or otherwise compose or send any type of electronic message while driving.

Please keep students and drivers safe by observing the law each day.
