Elementary Bus Safety

Its the beginning of the year and as this reporter observed the children getting off the bus at the Boys and Girls club. All of these kids are running off the bus and this is very dangerous. At the entrance to the Boys and Girls club you get a card that has your first and last name on it and a barcode that you use to sign into the Boys and Girls club.

It is pandemonium in the beginning of the boys and girls as you hear kids repeatedly saying ” I was in front of you.” You would put the barcode under a scanner that signs you and out of the boys and girls club. After a good 5-10 minutes all the noise and pushing dims down and you can finally sign in peacefully Once you sign into the boys and girls club you go to the room of your age group. There is a 2nd to 5th grade room, then there’s the toddlers room, there’s also a Teen Center for grades 6th and above. Here is some Solutions Does your child run on and off the bus?
