August - Back to School Safety Month

Students in the Santa Clarita Valley will start returning to school next week. Let’s be extra cautious and watch out for our students as they walk, bike, and get dropped off/picked up at their schools. Here are a few friendly reminders to make sure every trip is a safe one:

- Obey speed limits in school zones
- Watch out for school buses and students entering/exiting the buses
- Stop when school buses display a stop sign and red lights
- Avoid distracted driving
- Always buckle up before every ride
- Use designated crosswalks
- Plan ahead and leave early to account for delays during drop-off/pick-up times

Let’s make this school year as safe as possible for our students and everyone on the road!
