Hungry children cannot learn as much as well fed children. Any nutritional food will do. Many schools now offer breakfast programs to ensure their students have the proper nutrition to start their day. If your child brown bags lunch, be sure it is energy packed. On warm days, avoid packing dairy products, meats, eggs, or mayonnaise which may spoil.
Many children travel to school by bus.
The most important rule to remember is that school bus drivers are trained to help bus riders. Students should always listen to what the driver tells them. School-bus related injuries often occur because the driver does not see the children. Remind children to always cross in front of the bus and that they should always be far enough away to see the driver's face. If the child can see the driver's face, then the driver can see the child.
