Student safety remains our highest priority in as we celebrate National School Bus Safety Week! The most critical times for student safety on a school bus are when children are arriving, boarding, exiting, and leaving the bus stop. Please remain alert, reduce speed when yellow lights flash, and come to a complete stop for buses displaying extended stop-arms.

Prior to every route, our dedicated transportation team works diligently to perform rigorous vehicle safety checks—inspecting tires, brakes, fluid levels, emergency exits, and stop-arms to maintain peak performance. Furthermore, drivers complete extensive preparation in emergency protocols and defensive driving techniques.

Thank you to the bus drivers, dispatchers, and entire transportation team in Paradise, as well as the PV community, volunteers, and staff for their efforts in keeping our students safe in and around our schools.
