Be safe around school buses!

Drivers: Give buses room, be patient, put your phone down & stop for flashing red lights/extended stop arm.

We all play a role in school bus safety. Drivers: slow down around buses & bus stops. Students: wait for the bus away from the road, look both ways before crossing & remain seated while riding. A little extra attention can ensure we all stay safe.
