As students head back to school, let’s all do our part to make the school year a safe one!

1. Slow down and watch for school buses and students. Stop when buses have their red lights flashing and never pass a stopped school bus.

2. Stay alert in school zones. Watch for children walking, biking, or crossing the road, and always yield to pedestrians.

3. Talk safety with your kids. Review safe walking and biking habits, bus safety, and what to do if they need help.

Let’s have a safe and successful school year! ✏️⭐📚
