Back to School Safety


Back to School means back to school buses on the road. It is important for everyone (school children, parents and drivers to pay extra close attention.

Parents: Please review school bus safety with your children. They need to be reminded about the blind spots around the buses and to pay attention to the school bus driver's directions.

Drivers: Please remember that the flashing lights on a school bus means that traffic in both directions must stop and no one may pass the bus. If in addition to the safety of the children you need more incentive remember that if you are caught it is 10 demerit points and a fine of up to $2000.

Let's make this back to school memorable for all the right reasons.
