NATIONAL SCHOOL BUS SAFETY WEEK

This week we spotlight the importance of keeping our students safe on and around the school bus.
We all -- parents, drivers, students, and staff -- play a vital role in school transportation safety!

Let's keep working together to ensure every ride is a safe ride, as these students show how to safely ride, enter and exit the school bus.

A huge thank you to the dedicated bus drivers of Norris Childers for transporting our students to and from school safely each and every day! You are appreciated!!
