🚌⚠️ KNOW THE DANGER ZONES: STAY SAFE AROUND THE BUS!

As we continue National School Bus Safety Week, the Tishomingo County School District wants to remind students and families about the importance of staying safe when boarding and exiting a school bus.

Did you know that school bus drivers cannot always see students who are standing too close to the bus?

These areas are known as danger zones, and understanding them can help prevent serious accidents.

🚸 Important Safety Reminders:

🚌 Keep a safe distance. Stay at least 10 feet away from the bus whenever possible, unless you are boarding or exiting under the driver's direction.

👀 Make sure the driver can see you. Never assume the driver knows where you are standing.

✋ Wait for the driver's signal. Never approach or cross in front of the bus until the driver indicates it is safe.

🚶 Never walk behind a school bus. Always follow the designated crossing procedures.

🎒 Keep belongings secure. If you drop something near the bus, never attempt to retrieve it without first notifying the driver and receiving instructions.

❤️💙 School bus safety begins before students ever step onto the bus.

Parents and guardians, please take a few moments to review these important safety reminders with your children.

Know the Danger Zones. Stay Safe Around the Bus.

🚌🛑 NATHAN'S LAW: KNOW THE LAW. PROTECT OUR STUDENTS.

As we begin National School Bus Safety Week, the Tishomingo County School District wants to remind our community about the importance of following Mississippi's school bus safety laws.

Mississippi's Nathan's Law was enacted to strengthen protections for students following the tragic death of Nathan Key, a Mississippi student who was struck by a motorist while exiting his school bus.

🚦 What should Mississippi motorists know?

🛑 STOP for school buses. When a school bus displays flashing red lights or an extended stop arm, motorists must stop as required by Mississippi law.

🚗 Keep your distance. Motorists required to stop must remain at least 10 feet away from the school bus.

🛣️ Know the roadway rules. Mississippi law provides an exception for traffic traveling in the opposite direction on certain divided highways with four or more lanes. Drivers should understand the requirements before encountering a stopped school bus.

⚖️ Violations have serious consequences. Illegally passing a stopped school bus can result in substantial fines, possible imprisonment, and additional penalties for repeat offenses.

❤️💙 No destination is more important than a child's safety.

Every driver has a responsibility to protect our students. When you encounter a stopped school bus, remember that a few moments of patience can help prevent a lifetime of heartbreak.

Know the Law. Protect Our Students.
