🚌💛 A big THANK YOU to our amazing bus drivers who get our Panthers to and from school safely every day! They are the first smiling faces many of our students see in the morning and the last before heading home.
🚦 A reminder to all drivers:
✅ Stop when you see a stopped school bus with its red lights flashing and stop sign extended.
✅ Never pass a bus loading or unloading students.
✅ Slow down in school zones and neighborhoods.
Together, we can keep our Panthers safe! 🐾

🚍 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!
