🚍 STOP for School Buses – It’s the Law 🛑

When you see a school bus stopped with red lights flashing and stop arm extended, you must stop – whether you are behind it or coming from the opposite direction on an undivided road.

📍 This protects our students as they get on or off the bus.

❌ Never pass a stopped school bus.
✅ Wait until the lights stop flashing, the stop arm retracts, and the bus starts moving before you go.

Let’s work together to keep our Panthers safe every morning and afternoon! 🐾

School begins Wednesday, August 20th!
