BACK TO SCHOOL = BACK TO BUS SAFETY!
As students across our community head back to school, New Holland EMS wants to remind everyone to slow down, stay alert, and help keep our kids safe.
School buses are back on the roads, children are waiting at bus stops, and young drivers are returning to school. A few extra seconds of patience can prevent a tragedy.
- When the red lights are flashing and the stop arm is out — STOP.
- Watch carefully for children crossing the roadway or walking near bus stops.
- Give school buses plenty of room and avoid distractions behind the wheel.
- Put the phone down — especially in school zones and around bus stops.
- Leave a few minutes earlier so you aren't tempted to rush.
Parents, please also remind children to stay a safe distance from the roadway while waiting for the bus and to always make sure the bus driver can see them before crossing.
From all of us at New Holland EMS, we wish our students, teachers, bus drivers, school staff, and families a safe and successful school year!
Slow Down. Stay Alert. Keep Our Kids Safe.
