September brings a quickening pace to Coventry. See what's happening around town this month.

School has begun, September is upon us, and the warm days of summer will soon be fading away.  Please remember to slow down in school zones and to watch out for all the school children at bus stops.  Many activities in Coventry will soon be lining up as we slide into the early days of autumn.

School starts tomorrow!

Many schools including Coventry start tomorrow. Motorists slow down.

If you are driving, remember these simple rules:

Yellow flashing lights indicate the bus is preparing to stop to load or unload children. You should slow down and prepare to stop your vehicle.
Red flashing lights and extended stop arms indicate the bus has stopped and children are getting on or off. You must stop your car and wait until the red lights stop flashing, the extended stop-arm is withdrawn, and the bus begins moving, before you can start driving again.
Even when lights aren’t flashing, watch for children, particularly in the morning or mid-afternoon, around school arrival and dismissal times. Be alert as you back out of a driveway, or drive through a neighborhood, school zone or bus stop.

Parents - talk bus safety with your children:

Your child should arrive at the bus stop at least 5 minutes before the bus is scheduled to arrive. Teach them to play it SAFE:

Stay at least ten feet — five giant steps — away from the curb.
Always wait until the bus comes to a complete stop and the bus driver signals for you to board.
Face forward after finding a seat on the bus.
Exit the bus after it stops and look left-right-left for cars before crossing a street.
