🚌✨ National Bus Safety Week Tip #5! ✨🚌 It’s our last tip for the week: Red means STOP! When you see a school bus activate its amber/yellow lights, it’s approaching a stop. Never rush through these lights—students may not always wait for the red lights to activate before crossing. Remember, the bus will not block the intersection. 🚦 Important reminders: Do not turn left in front of the bus if students are loading on the right; they may be coming from all directions. Wait until the red lights are OFF before moving your vehicle. Let’s keep our kids safe on their way to school! Thank you for prioritizing bus safety this week and every day! #BusSafety #NationalBusSafetyWeek #SafetyFirst

🌻✨ Mrs. Jarrett's 1st grade class made a fantastic literacy connection with the Savvas story "Lifecycle of a Sunflower"!

🚌✨ National Bus Safety Week Tip #4! ✨🚌 Today’s important reminder: Use your inside voice while riding the school bus!

🚌✨ National Bus Safety Week Tip #2! ✨🚌 This week, we're sharing crucial safety tips for our students and families. Today’s tip: Arrive at the bus stop 5 to 10 minutes early! Being at the stop ahead of time allows the bus driver to see you clearly and helps prevent the need to run after a missed bus. Remember, once the bus has started moving, it’s never safe to approach— the driver may not see you! Let’s keep our kids safe by making bus safety a priority.

🚌✨ It's National School Bus Safety Week! ✨🚌 This week, we're sharing important tips to keep our students and families safe. Today's tip: Avoid the Danger Zone! The danger zone is a 10-12 foot area around the bus where the driver may not see you. Here’s how to stay safe: ✅ If you drop something near the bus, don’t try to pick it up! Alert the bus driver instead. 🚫 Never run after a missed bus. Once it’s moving, it’s never safe to approach. 👀 Always make eye contact with the bus driver before crossing or entering the bus. This ensures they see you and that it’s safe to move. 🛑 While waiting, stand back from the road until the bus has completely stopped. Let's work together to keep our kids safe! Stay tuned for more tips throughout the week. #SchoolBusSafety #NationalSchoolBusSafetyWeek #SafetyFirst
