Back to School Safety

As the new school year begins, we extend our best wishes to all students, educators, and school staff for a safe, successful, and enriching academic year.

We also remind all residents and drivers to remain vigilant near school zones, bus stops, and crosswalks. Please be mindful of crossing guards and exercise caution during pick-up and drop-off hours.
