Spring has arrived, along with (mostly) warmer weather. At this time of year, it's natural to want to get outside and have fun. Students still need to be safe and stay alert, however, especially when waiting for the school bus and getting off the bus after school each day.

Students, parents, teachers, administrators, transportation personnel and the public all play important roles in keeping children safe while on or around the school bus.

Please click here for a list of important school bus safety tips.
