Tomorrow marks our first day with all school districts back in session!😆

This is a great reminder as the big yellow buses hit the road early tomorrow morning. Be patient with our drivers as they are running through their routes the first couple of days.🚌📚✏️

🚨 School buses are back on the road! 🚌

📚As students head back to the classroom, let’s make safety our top priority.

Traffic laws surrounding school buses and when to stop have changed, watch this short video to learn more and help keep our kiddos safe: https://youtu.be/JTZoID7UWnc?si=6Y2q5VQbkRZ46fle

A quick reminder for all drivers:
🟡 Flashing yellow lights mean the bus is preparing to stop. Slow down and get ready to stop.
🔴 Flashing red lights and an extended stop arm mean kids are getting on or off. You MUST stop!

Two-way roads: Drivers in BOTH directions must stop!

Let’s keep our community safe and watch out for young pedestrians.

Slow down, stay alert, and when the lights are flashing, don’t be passing!
