Every day, our bus drivers and transportation staff work hard to make sure students get to and from school safely. 🚦💛 This week reminds us all how important it is to stay alert, follow safety rules, and show appreciation for the people who keep our Knights safe on the road!
👋 Reminders for students & families:
✔️ Be at the bus stop on time
✔️ Wait for the bus to stop completely before approaching
✔️ Always stay seated and listen to the driver
✔️ Look both ways before crossing the street
Let’s take a moment to THANK our amazing bus drivers for all they do! 🚌👏
