📢 MEDIA ALERT: School Bus Safety: Help Us Spread the Word!

As PCSD 25 Staff, Learners, and Families Return to School, Let’s Work Together to Keep our Community Safe

As back-to-school season approaches, yellow school buses will once again become a familiar sight on our roads. 

Why It Matters:
Every day, hundreds of learners across our community rely on school buses to get to and from school safely. Yet, each year, children are put at risk by motorists who fail to stop when school bus lights are flashing and the stop arm is extended.

What the Law Says:
When a school bus stops and displays its flashing red lights and extended stop arm, all traffic in both directions must stop – unless a divided highway separates the road. This law exists to protect learners as they load and unload from the bus.

School bus safety is everyone’s responsibility!

Key Safety Reminders for Motorists:

• Stop for school buses with flashing red lights and an extended stop arm.
• Slow down in school zones and watch for children walking or biking.
• Be extra alert during early morning and afternoon hours.
• Never pass a school bus that is loading or unloading children.
