🚍🛑 Passing a School Bus Safely & Legally

We’re all doing our best—and one thing we all share is a commitment to keeping our students safe! 💛
Our bus drivers and community members work together every day to make that happen, and we truly appreciate it.

Here are a few important reminders to keep everyone safe:

🔶 Amber Lights = Slow Down & Prepare to Stop
Amber warning lights are activated at least 200 feet before the stop. This is your signal that the bus is about to stop.

🔴 Red Lights = STOP
When the bus stops and red lights begin flashing (as soon as the doors open), ALL traffic must stop—from both directions (unless on a divided roadway).

🛑 Stop Arm = Extra Warning, Not the Rule
The extended stop sign is helpful—but it’s the flashing red lights that legally require you to stop.

👀 Stay Alert
Students may be crossing the road at any time—always watch carefully and never assume it’s clear.

Let’s continue working together to keep our kids safe! 🏴‍☠️💙
