🛑 STOP FOR SCHOOL BUSES: KEEP OUR STUDENTS SAFE! 🚌

Now that school is officially back in session, hundreds of NLPS students are travelling on our school buses every day. Drivers, please take extra care during morning pick-ups and afternoon drop-offs!

Crucial Bus Safety Reminders:

🛑 Red Lights & Stop Arm: When a school bus stops and turns on its flashing red lights with the stop arm extended, traffic in BOTH directions must come to a complete stop. Passing a school bus with red lights flashing is illegal and puts young lives at risk!

🚶 Watch the Bus Stops: Children are excited to see their friends! Please slow down near bus stops, look out for kids walking or waiting near the curb, and expect the unexpected.

🟡 Yellow Lights: Flashing yellow lights mean the bus is preparing to stop. Slow down and prepare to stop—do not speed up to pass!

Let's work together to ensure every child arrives safely at school and back home every single day. 💙
