Richard Roblin's large format
More than 23 million kids ride a
school bus every day. Schools are
back in session and with- the
excitement of the new school year.
young ones may forget to look both
ways when crossing the street or
exiting the school bus.
That leaves it up to a driver, said
OPP Sr. Const. Don Shropshall to
be extra careful. "When you see
yellow, be sure to see red — as in red
alert. Let's all slow down and give
our children the chance they
deserve."
Safety on and off the school bus —
Going to the bus stop ,
Whenever possible, walk with
others from your school. Try not to
walk in the street. If you have to
walk in the street, walk as close to
the curb as possible and in single
file.
Be alert and avoid any signs of
danger. Obey traffic lights and
signals and crossing guards. When
you are crossing the street, cross
only at the corner and use the
crosswalks where possible. Look
both ways before crossing.
While you wait for the bus
Arrive at the bus stop on time.
Stay away from the street while you
are waiting for the bus. No
horseplay that could cause someone
to run out onto the roadway.
Boarding the school bus
Do not approach the bus until it
stops completely, and then wait for
the bus lights, door open and the
bus driver's signal. Drawstrings,
ties, straps and backpacks can get
caught in the bus doors, railings or
aisles, so be extra careful when
getting on or off the bus. Enter the
bus in single file. Do not push or
shove. Use the handrail. Take a seat
quickly and sit facing the front.
Riding the bus
Always obey school bus rules.
Remain seated throughout the ride.
Keep your arms, legs, hands and
head inside the bus at all times.
Help keep the bus neat and clean.
Do not put belongings in the aisle.
Keep them away from the
emergency exits.
Eating and drinking are not
allowed on the bus.
Be courteous to the driver and
other riders. Listen to any directions
the driver gives you. Do not make
noises or gestures to distract the
driver or •annoy others. Do not
throw things inside the bus or out
the windows. Do not bully or tease
children on the bus.
Leaving the bus
Do not stand up until the bus
comes to a complete stop. Use the
handrail when leaving the bus.
Never walk behind the school
abstract paintings present richly
coloured surfaces that draw the
viewer into, a space that is part
architecture, part atmosphere and
part pure light.
The exhibition See-Change will
highlight the Falling Water series; a
title that references Frank Lloyd
Wright's architectural masterpiece
as well as Roblin's own exploration
bus. If you cannot see the bus
driver, the driver probably can't see
you. Take eight steps away from the
bus, and you should be able to see
the driver and the driver should be
able to see you: Always cross the
road in front of the bus, look to the
driver before starting across, stop at
the bus tire and look both ways
making sure traffic has stopped
before preceding further.
Never crawl under a bus. Do not
bend down near or under the bus.
Never run back to the bus, even if
you have forgotten something or
dropped an article on the road. Get
an adult to pick things up on the
road.
Never leave the bus at any stop
other than that predetermined by
school or parental permission.
Unnecessary disturbances like
wrestling, smoking, obscene
language or any other forms of
misbehaviour will not be tolerated.
Remember riding the school bus is
a privilege and can be withdrawn at
anytime.
Safety to and from school
It's best if children are
accompanied by adults or a group
of friends when heading to or from
school or the school bus. But that's
not always possible, so children
need to take these precautions:
Never talk to strangers. Never
accept nything from a stranger. Do
not agree to anything suggested by
a stranger. Walk away if a person
makes you feel uncomfortable. Do
not accept a ride from or go with a
stranger.
Know your telephone number and
the number of a- close friend or
relative.
Avoid areas where drugs are sold.
Do not touch or pick up drugs,
alcohol or weapons for any reason.
If you are approached by a
stranger or a stranger touches you

of the fluid nature of time, being and

subsequent Wall and Yantra series

shout "No" and get away quickly.
Find an adult you trust. If you
cannot find an adult, call 9-1-1. Do
not hang up until the person on the
phone says you Can, and follow all
his/her instructions. Or on the street
run to a block parent location for
help.
It's important that you remember
what the person looks . like, what
he/she was wearing and what kind
of car he/she was driving. Even if
you are afraid about what
happened, it is not your fault, and it
is important that you tell your
parent(s). '
Try to arrange to walk to and
from school or the bus with a friend
or group of friends. Stay alert to
what's going on and who might be
around you.

also should know how to ,phone
long distance by dialing direct or
with the operator's assistance, how
to reach police, fire, ambulance, a
relative and neighbour.
Children should carry enough
money to make a phone call, and be
able to tell where they are at all
times.
At home children should never
say they are alone if they answer the
phone, nor answer the door.
They should never invite
strangers into their home.
"Following these instructions won't
completely protect your child but
they will reduce the risk and train
them to deal with threatening
circumstances," said Shropshall.
"You can make a difference. to
keep our children ,,,saCe by going
over these facts with your child."
