Lawrence County Schools is participating in the nationwide observance of National School Bus Safety Week, a time dedicated to emphasizing the importance of safety for students, parents, and drivers alike. This initiative serves as a crucial reminder that safety protocols begin the moment a child boards the school bus.
School officials are calling on all motorists to exercise caution and adhere to traffic laws by stopping for school buses when the red lights are activated and the stop arms are extended. This is a vital aspect of ensuring the safety of children as they embark on their daily journeys to and from school.
In addition to urging drivers to be vigilant, parents are encouraged to engage in discussions with their children about safe practices for loading and unloading from the bus. It is essential for students to remain alert, look both ways before crossing the street, and heed the instructions provided by their bus drivers.
The district emphasizes that safety is a collective responsibility that encompasses every stop, every route, and every day. By working together, the community can help create a safer environment for all students as they travel to school.
