🚍SCHOOL BUS SAFETY MATTERS IN TISHOMINGO COUNTY! 🛑
As our school buses hit the roads, let’s all do our part to keep our students safe on their journey to and from school! Every child deserves a safe ride.
Here are important rules for drivers and safety tips for students to keep in mind:
🚗 DRIVERS: KNOW THE LIGHTS & LAWS
🟡 Yellow Flashing Lights: The bus is preparing to stop. Slow down and prepare to stop your vehicle.
🔴 Red Flashing Lights & Extended Stop Arm: The bus has stopped to load/unload students. YOU MUST STOP! Do not proceed until the red lights stop flashing, the stop arm retracts, and the bus begins moving.
👀 Stay Alert: Watch for children in school zones, neighborhoods, and around bus stops, especially during morning arrival and afternoon dismissal hours.
🚌 PARENTS & KIDS: BUS STOP SAFETY TIPS
• Arrive Early: Be at your bus stop at least 5 minutes before the scheduled pickup time.
• Stand Back: Stay at least 10 feet (5 giant steps) away from the curb while waiting.
• Wait for the Signal: Always wait until the bus comes to a complete stop and the driver signals it is safe to board.
• Cross Safely: When exiting, look left-right-left for incoming traffic before crossing the street.
🤝Let's keep our roadways safe for all Tishomingo County students.
