School is starting in just one week for Washington County Public Schools! As thousands of students get ready to head back to class, it’s the perfect time to brush up on school bus safet
STOP when a bus stops – It’s illegal to pass a school bus with its red lights flashing and stop-arm extended. Students are getting on and off, and drivers must protect them.
Stay alert – Pay close attention when driving, especially in school zones and at bus stops. Children’s brains are still developing, so don’t expect them to act as adults might.
Safety first – Always maintain a clear line of sight when operating a motor vehicle.
Let’s work together to keep children safe as they head back to school. Remember, patience and caution save lives!
