School is back in session in S**o starting next week! Let’s look out for our youngest community members by following these simple steps to keep everyone safe:

🚸 Follow posted speed limits, being mindful of changes in and around school zones.

🛑 Stop for school buses when the red lights are flashing or stop-arm is extended. NEVER pass a bus with its stop signal on.

📱 Maine is a hands-free state. Don’t use your mobile devices while operating your vehicle.

🚶‍♂️ Watch for children who are walking or biking, and yield to pedestrians in crosswalks.

👮‍♂️ Stop when a crossing guard directs you to stop. Their job is to ensure the safety of students crossing the road!

If you or someone you know would like to do more to help make our streets safer for students, apply to join our team as a Crossing Guard. Learn more on our website through our link in the comments.

Thank you for doing your part to make sure everyone gets to and from school safely!
