As we gear up for the return of our students on Monday, August 11th, let's all commit to keeping our roads and school zones safe. Your awareness can make a big difference in protecting students and staff.

🚸 Watch for School Zones – Follow posted speed limits and stay alert for children walking or biking to school.
📵 Eyes up, phones down – Never text and drive.
🚌 Bus safety matters – Stop when the bus does. Give them space to load and unload students safely.
⏰ Plan ahead – Mornings can get hectic. Leave early to avoid rushing in busy school traffic.
🚶‍♀️ Practice the walk – If your child walks to school, do a trial run together and plan a backup route.
🚌 Teach bus etiquette – Talk to your kids about staying seated, keeping aisles clear, and following safety rules on the bus.
