🚌 BACK TO SCHOOL. SLOW DOWN. PAY ATTENTION.
The school buses are back on the roads tomorrow, and so are our kids. That means all of us have a responsibility to make sure they get to school — and back home — safely.
🚨 SEE THE RED LIGHTS? STOP.
When a school bus has its red lights flashing and the stop sign extended, you must stop. Do not try to sneak around the bus. Do not assume the children have already crossed. And never pass a stopped school bus just because you’re in a hurry.
That few seconds you save could never be worth the consequences.
👀 Watch the bus. Watch the road. Watch for kids.
Children may be crossing the street, walking alongside the road, or moving toward the bus from an unexpected direction. Slow down and give school buses plenty of room.
And parents — remind your kids:
• Stay in a safe place while waiting for the bus.
• Stay away from the roadway.
• Wait until the bus has completely stopped before approaching.
• Look both ways before crossing.
• Never assume a driver sees you.
One stop. One decision. One child’s life.
As another school year begins, let’s make sure everyone makes it home safely.
🚌❤️ Sumner County EMS asks you: Please Stop for the Bus.
