According to Arkansas law, when a school bus stops and displays its alternating red warning lights for the purpose of loading or unloading passengers, every operator of a motor vehicle or motorcycle approaching the school bus from any direction must stop at least 30 feet behind a stopped school bus.
For the sake of our students, stop when you see the flashing red lights. Let’s work together to make sure our students travel safely to and from school each day. #SchoolBusSafetyWeek #FlashingRedKidsAhead 🚍🛑
Physical safety is important, but so is emotional safety. To feel emotionally safe, students need supportive relationships, the key to better learning experiences for all students. That’s why we place such importance on the processes of Capturing Kids’ Hearts. From door greetings, to sharing Good Things, to social contracts, we value creating positive learning environments. #CKH
Fall days mean less daylight in the mornings and evenings, conditions which can limit visibility for bus drivers. Please review these reminders to increase safety at all bus stops. #SafeHornets #National SchoolBusSafetyWeek
October is #NationalPrincipalsMonth. All month long, we’re celebrating our amazing principals at each of our schools.

I also enjoy supporting teachers so they can be equipped to help students be successful,” says Mrs. Edwards.
