School is back in session, and that means more children walking, biking, and crossing streets near our schools. Let’s all work together to keep our students safe!

________________________________________

Attention Motorists:

• Slow down in school zones – speed limits are strictly enforced.

• Stay alert for children at crosswalks, intersections, and school bus stops.

• Never pass a stopped school bus – it’s illegal and dangerous.

• Put the phone down – distracted driving can cost lives, and it's illegal.

For Students and Parents:

• Always use designated crosswalks and wait for the crossing guard’s signal before crossing.

• Follow the crossing guard’s directions – they are there to keep you safe.

• Cross quickly and carefully – no running, but don’t linger in the road.

• Dismount bicycles, scooters, and skateboards before crossing major streets. Walk them across to stay in control and visible.

• Avoid distractions like phones or headphones when crossing.

• Make eye contact with drivers before stepping into the street.

Crossing guards are there to help — please respect and follow their instructions. Let’s set a good example for our students and help them build safe habits that last a lifetime. Together, we can make sure every student gets to and from school safely.
