Q Walk with your child to the bus stop a few times before school starts. Try to visualize the routine with him or her. Let her or him know that there will be older kids on the bus with them one way. Q Talk about the ride in a positive manner. Treat it as an adventure! Try not to transfer any feelings of apprehension you may have to your child. In the tip sheet, entitled "Think! Think! Think Safety!", parents are told "starting school can be a scary experience for your child. Watching him or her get onto a large bus and drive away can be just as scary for you! Some time spent together before the big day can make it a little easier for both of you". Tips include: School Bus Orientation Day on Saturday s the first day of school approaches, the Halton School Bus Safety Committee is moving into high gear in an effort to take the fear out of riding a school bus for the first time.

The orientation sessions will include a 30â€"minute classroom presentation on school bus safeâ€" ty featuring a Winnieâ€"theâ€"Pooh video and a 30â€"minute demonâ€" stration on a school bus. The cornerstone activity will be a firstâ€"ever School Bus Orientation Day from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 28th. The tips are part of a major program to help kindergarten students and their parents feel more comfortable with the idea of riding a school bus. Q Allow your child to wear or carry a name tag. This can be placed in the lunch box or back pack. Include your child‘s name, phone number, school, bus number, and stop location. Make sure your child knows where it is. This will allow the driver to make sure he gets to the right place if she (he) gets disorientâ€" ed, and allows schools to conâ€" tact you if necessary. Q Explain that the route the driver takes won‘t necessarily be the same one you would take if you were driving, but it will end up in the same place that your child got on. Q Give your child a tote bag or a back pack. One item to carry is much better than many little pieces. ag area ge rooms To register students for a preferred time slot, parents should call the host bus compaâ€" ny at the phone number listed next to the desired location: Q Oakville (north of Q.E.W,), Loyola Catholic High School, 829â€"2040; Q Oakville (south of Q.E.W.), T.A.
