I would get all dressed for weather and be at the end of the drive. I know cars not meant to pass a stopped bus but they do. Here, our school board requires all children Grade 2 and younger as accompanied by an adult at the stop for pick up and drop off. If no adult is standing at the stop itself, they will not let the child off.

It only takes two seconds of attention on littles to miss the bus and it only takes two seconds of attention on student walking up the drive for a little to be hurt. Don't risk it. There are no best practices for attention on two totally separate areas of little inside home and student arriving at end of drive. The only option is to dress the children and be outside.
