It's almost that time. Please be aware of students on your morning commute. 🚌🐯🚸
⚠️ If you're driving behind a bus, allow a greater following distance than if you were driving behind a car. It will give you more time to stop once the yellow lights start flashing. It is illegal in all 50 states to pass a school bus that is stopped to load or unload children.
⚠️ Never pass a bus from behind – or from either direction if you're on an undivided road – if it is stopped to load or unload children
⚠️ If the yellow or red lights are flashing and the stop arm is extended, traffic must stop
⚠️ The area 10 feet around a school bus is the most dangerous for children; stop far enough back to allow them space to safely enter and exit the bus
⚠️ Be alert; children often are unpredictable, and they tend to ignore hazards and take risks.

Parents and Families—this year’s main fundraiser is the Freedom Fun Run! It’s a two-week program that kicks off with a Pep Rally on September 16th. Families will then gather pledges for every lap your student runs (30-35 laps) at the Freedom Fun Run, which will happen on September 27th. This year our goal is to raise $20,000 for playground enhancements and funding field trips, and we need your help! We’ve asked the experts at Booster to power our fundraiser to make it easier, more profitable, and more fun. More details to come later, but here's a sneak peek! https://vimeo.com/254873625
