School is back in session, and that means school zones are active once again.

When you see flashing school zone lights, slow down and follow the posted speed limit. A few extra seconds behind the wheel can make all the difference for students walking, biking, or being dropped off each morning and afternoon.

Let's work together to make this a safe school year for every student, parent, crossing guard, and driver.

💛 Slow down. Stay alert. Help keep our kids safe.
