YELLOW MEANS CAUTION

As Arden Road begins another exciting year, we must all consider the safety of our children and others. Many students walk, riding bikes, and ride school buses to and from school each day.

Every year children are hurt and killed due to the negligence of motorists in the school zones and around school buses. Motorists must pay close attention to school zones and keep their speed limit to 20 mph during morning drop-off and afternoon dismissal times.

During loading and unloading, motorists going both directions should not pass a school bus when the lights are flashing. Make sure the roadway is clear of all children before proceeding on your way. If everyone remembers “Yellow Means Caution,” we should all have a safe and wonderful school year.
