Stafford Township New Jersey Welcomes back staff and students!
🎒🚌 Back to School, Stafford — Slow Down & Stay Alert! 🚌🎒
As students head back to the classroom this week, our roads, sidewalks, crosswalks, and bus stops are getting busier again! Whether you’re driving to work, dropping off at school, walking, or biking, a little extra patience can go a long way toward keeping everyone safe.
A few reminders as we settle back into the school-year routine:
🚸 Slow down in school zones and watch carefully for children crossing the street.
🚌 Be prepared for school buses making frequent stops, and always obey flashing lights and stop signals.
👀 Stay alert at crosswalks and bus stops, especially during morning and afternoon hours.
📵 Put the phone down while driving and keep your attention on the road.
🚲 Give pedestrians and bicyclists plenty of space and expect more children traveling to and from school.
And for our students: look both ways, use designated crossings whenever possible, stay aware of your surroundings, and never assume a driver sees you.
Mayor Henken and the Stafford Township Council wish all of our students, families, teachers, school staff, and bus drivers a safe and successful school year! 📚✏️
Give yourself a few extra minutes, pack a little extra patience, and help us keep Stafford’s students safe. 💛
