We had a great day in Herd Round Up! Today we read Have You Filled a Bucket Today? and made chatterboxes to help break the ice and get to know each other better. We’re ready to start filling buckets with kindness, encouragement, and positivity!

¡Tuvimos un gran día en Herd Round Up! Hoy leímos Have You Filled a Bucket Today? e hicimos juegos de papel para romper el hielo y conocernos mejor. ¡Estamos listos para comenzar a llenar cubetas con amabilidad, palabras de ánimo y positividad!

🚗Back to School = Back to Extra Caution on the Road!

With students heading back to class, here’s what every driver needs to know to keep our kids safe:

Around School Buses
🚌 Slow down when you see a bus — kids can dart into the road unexpectedly
🚦 Be extra alert at railroad crossings, where buses are required to stop
🛑 Know the law: If a bus has flashing red lights on, you MUST stop — no matter which direction you’re driving — unless there’s a physical barrier or median between you. A center turn lane does NOT count as a divider!

The Cost of Not Stopping
💸 First offense for illegally passing a school bus: up to $1,250 in fines
🚫 Repeat offenses: possible license suspension up to 6 months
⚖️ Serious injury caused? That can mean criminal charges

A Few More Reminders
🐢 Obey posted speed limits in school zones — always

👨‍👩‍👧 Beyond the road: talk to your kids about safety and situational awareness for emergencies or severe weather this school year. A few minutes of conversation now can make all the difference.

Let’s all do our part to get every student home safely. 💙
