8 ·The IFP· Halton Hills ·Thursday, August 23, 2012 School bus orientation classes set for CtK, Acton High Saturday As the first day of school approaches, the Halton School Bus Safety Committee is moving into high gear to assist parents and first time riders in understanding the importance of school bus safety. The committee, with representatives from Halton Student Transportation Services and all bus operators in Halton, is hosting its annual "School Bus Orientation Day" on Saturday, August 25, starting at 9 a.m. Halton Hills sessions will be held at Christ the King Secondary School in Georgetown and Acton District High School. First Student (905-877-2251) is the host bus company for the Georgetown session while Tyler Transport Ltd. (519853-1550) will host the Acton session. To register your child for a preferred time slot, parents should call the host bus company. Parents are encouraged to bring their children to the free sessions, which will feature a presentation on school bus safety, including a special Winnie-the Pooh video and a demonstration on a school bus. School bus company safety officers and bus drivers will talk to the children about safely getting on and off the bus, proper behaviour on a school bus, crossing the street to get to a waiting bus and overall school bus safety. In addition, a tip sheet on school bus safety, entitled "Think! Think! Think Safety!" will be distributed. The committee hopes that the orientation sessions will help students and their parents feel more comfortable with the idea of riding a school bus.
