There’s something special about the sound of music in our schools—and it wouldn’t be possible without dedicated volunteers! 🎶

Here’s a quick guide to when drivers must STOP for a school bus:
➡️ Two-lane road = Cars must stop from both directions
➡️ Road with center turn lane = Cars must stop from all directions
➡️ Road with median = Stop only if you’re on the same side as the bus
Let’s work together this year to protect our students and help everyone get to school and home safely!

Only FIVE days until our hallways are full of learning and laughter again! 😃
