Extractions: Riding the Bus School bus transportation is safe. Even so, every year, students are injured or even killed in incidents involving school buses. More often than not, these injuries and deaths didn't occur in a crash, but as the pupils were entering and exiting the bus. Remember these safety tips: Have a safe place to wait for your bus, and enter and leave the bus, away from traffic and busy streets. Stay with a group of people while waiting for a bus. Stay away from the bus until it comes to a complete stop and the driver signals you to enter. When being dropped off, exit the bus and walk ten giant steps away from the bus. Always keep a safe distance between you and the bus. Also, remember that the bus driver can see you best when you are back away from the bus. Don't go directly in front of or behind the bus. Use the handrail to enter and exit the bus.

Drawstrings on Jackets and Sweatshirts There should be no drawstrings on hoods or around the neck. Drawstrings at the waist or bottom of jackets should extend no more than 3 inches to prevent catching in car and school bus doors or getting caught on playground equipment. Bike Helmets Buy a helmet that meets one of the safety standards (U.S. CPSC, Snell, ANSI, ASTM, or Canadian), and insist that your children wear the helmet each time they ride their bike. About 900 people, including more than 200 children, are killed annually in bicycle-related incidents, and about 60 percent of these deaths involve a head injury. More than 500,000 people are treated annually in U.S. hospital emergency rooms for bicycle-related injuries. Research indicates that a helmet can reduce the risk of head injury by up to 85 percent.

Extractions: BACK TO SCHOOL BUS SAFETY! Although school buses are the safest means of ground transportation, safety should still be a priority for the children walking to and from the school bus stops, and for the motorists who must share the road with buses. There are things that children, parents and drivers can do to make this a safe school year for Delaware students. If your children's bus stop is not near your home, walk the route to that stop with them until they are familiar with it. Make sure your child knows what time the bus is scheduled to arrive and make sure he or she gets to the stop early, so the child can avoid rushing. Children in a rush are less likely to follow safety practices. Children Wait for the bus in a safe place. Avoid horseplay that could cause you to fall into the street. Never run to or from the bus. Don't push or shove when getting on or off the bus. Learn about the "danger zone". That's a 10-foot wide area on all sides of the bus, where the driver cannot see you. When you get off the bus, step outside of the danger zone until you can see the driver's face. Only cross in front of the bus where the driver can see you.

Extractions: We will never see." ~Author Unknown Time for a new school year-a time for new beginnings, for growing up, for discovering new ideas, for making new friends. By the way, who thought of schools in the first place? Long before there were schoolhouses and hired school teachers, children were taught by parents and grandparents. Young children were sometimes sent to dame schools, where they spent most of their time memorizing Bible passages and reciting them to the dame as she worked on her sewing or knitting. Sometimes ministers held classes in their churches, and in some towns, the minister and the school teacher were the same person. The first schoolhouses were often very uncomfortable. They were often made of logs and had dirt floors. The windows were covered with greased paper instead of glass. In winter, a smoky fire or stove heated the classroom, but those that sat near it were always too hot, and those who sat farthest from it froze. Children had no individual desks. They sat on benches at long, narrow tables, and there was no support for their backs. Most lessons were written on a slate with chalk. Many children had no paper. Some wrote on birch bark. Pens or charcoal were used instead of pencils. Children were very careful not to soil or lose their books, for it was almost impossible to get new ones.

Online NewsHour: Back To School -- August 16, 1999 back TO school. Rod Paige from Houston; Kate Stetzner from Butte, Montana; andDavid Domenech from Fairfax County, Virginia, discuss school safety issues. http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/youth/july-dec99/saftey_8-16.html
Extractions: School superintendents: David Hornbeck from Philadelphia; Rod Paige from Houston; Kate Stetzner from Butte, Montana; and David Domenech from Fairfax County, Virginia, discuss school safety issues. ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: The Columbine shootings came on the heels of school killings last year in Springfield, Oregon, and Jonesboro, Arkansas, among others. In Springfield, a 15-year-old killed two students and wounded 19; and in Jonesboro, a 13- and an 11-year-old shot four classmates and a teacher. Now, we take a wider look at school safety around the country. Joining us are four public school superintendents from across the country: David Hornbeck from Philadelphia, Rod Paige from Houston, Kate Stetzner from Butte, Montana, and Daniel Domenech from Fairfax County, in Northern Virginia, outside of Washington, DC. ROD PAIGE: First of all, we adopt an attitude that safety is important; a core value of an independent school district court is safety above all else. It didn't just begin the last couple of months, or last couple of years. It might be an attitude that goes throughout the entire structure of the organization. These add-on programs with increased security and things like that now are important, but there must be some structural part of the system that speaks to safety.

Extractions: WASHINGTON, Aug. 25 With the start of the school season,the National Food Processors Association (NFPA) offers the following tips to help ensure your child consumes a safe and nutritious school lunch. * Preparation When preparing your child's lunch, be sure to use food that has been stored and packed properly. Follow good preparation practices; anyone preparing a lunch should be sure to wash hands often, use clean utensils and cutting boards, and wash preparation surfaces to help reduce therisk of contamination by harmful bacteria. Also, avoid cross contamination; do not use the same utensils for raw meats and other products. In addition, when preparing a lunch at night, be sure to refrigerate items such as tuna, cold cuts, egg salad, and any type of dairy products. Consult food labels tomake sure foods are stored at the proper temperature. * Consumption at School Parents should instruct children to refrigerate lunches at school if necessary. Be sure to seal thermoses properly. Makesure that your children know that foods that have not been stored properlythat smell or taste odd, or that are not sealed correctly should be thrown away. Keep in mind that foods such as peanut butter, box juices, and raisins, are particularly useful for field trips or traveling because refrigeration is not required. Children also should wash their hands before eating their lunch. This will reduce the risk of contamination by harmful bacteria. Finally, remember caution should be used when sharing lunches with other children; allergic reactions to certain food items or ingredients are possible.
