Chief's Welcome

SCHOOL OPENS THIS WEDNESDAY AUGUST 24;  PLEASE DRIVE SAFELY AND OBSERVE ALL SCHOOL BUS RULES

Please be wary of school students and school crossing guards as you are driving on the roads!  Put the phone down, avoid distractions and help to keep our kids safe.  REMEMBER:  You MUST STOP for a School Bus that has its red lights activated and flashing.  This not only applies to roadways but also private roads and parking lots.  

Also, a new law in PA this year allows shool buses to have cameras mounted to the stop arms of the school buses to catch violators passing a stopped bus with the red lights flashing.  Do not be a violator!  Be a rule follower and keep all the kids safe!
