🎗️ PORT ROYAL PD IS GOING BALD FOR A GREAT CAUSE! 👨‍🦲💚

And yes… we’re shaving our heads! ✂️👨‍🦲

But it’s about a whole lot more than losing a little hair.

Over the next several weeks, we’ll be introducing you to the brave — or possibly foolish 😬 — members of PRPD who have volunteered to put their hair on the line, along with updates on our fundraising progress.

Port Royal, let’s see what we can do together! 💪💚

🚦 Traffic Tip Tuesday: Don’t let routine turn into complacency!

The first-day excitement has settled, morning routes feel familiar, and everyone is getting back into the school-year rhythm. But students are still crossing streets, buses are still making frequent stops, and school-zone traffic still requires your full attention.

📵 Put the phone down.
🚸 Watch carefully near crosswalks, bus stops, and parked vehicles.
🐢 Obey school-zone speed limits—even when you’re running late.
👀 Look twice for children walking or riding bicycles.

A familiar route is not automatically a safe one. Slow down, stay alert, and give yourself a few extra minutes. Our students are counting on all of us to remain vigilant long after the first-week reminders have faded.
