School safety starts at the bus stop. 🚌 🛑 Share these tips with your children. ⌚ Arrive at the bus stop 5 minutes early. 🚏 Stand 5 giant steps away from the curb. 🚌 Wait until the bus stops, the door opens and the driver says it’s okay before stepping onto the bus.

The greatest risk to a child isn’t riding a school bus, but approaching or leaving one. Stay alert. Stay engaged. Keep them safe.

As the new school year approaches, it's essential to be mindful of school zone safety. School starts on Friday, August 2nd, and it's crucial to remember to slow down and stay alert in school zones. The speed limit of 25 mph is in place to protect our children, so it's important for everyone to adhere to this limit. We all share the responsibility of keeping our children safe by being vigilant and cautious in school zones. This includes stopping for school buses, pedestrians in crosswalks, and being extra cautious on the roads.
Parents are reminded to drop off and pick up their children in the designated areas provided by the school, rather than stopping in the middle of the street or down the road. To ensure a safe journey, take some time between Monday and Thursday of this week to familiarize yourself with the school zones on your regular travel routes. Pay close attention to signs and road markings that indicate the entrance to these zones.
We encourage everyone to plan their routes to school or work in advance, leaving early if necessary, to ensure a safe and timely arrival. Remember, safety should always be a priority.
It's important to understand that when you see blue lights in your rearview mirror, it means you may have put children at risk, and this is taken very seriously. Let's work together to keep our children safe as they head back to school.
