🚌💛 National School Bus Safety Week

Keeping our children safe starts with all of us!

As students travel to and from school each day, the Dickinson Police Department reminds drivers to slow down, stay alert, and use extra caution around school buses.

🚨 STOP when a school bus has its red lights flashing and stop arm extended, as required by law.

👀 BE AWARE of children entering and exiting buses.

🚗 GIVE SPACE and allow buses plenty of room to maneuver safely.

⚠️ STAY ALERT in school zones and always follow posted speed limits.
