This week, Nelson County Public Schools celebrates National School Bus Safety Week and recognizes the dedicated bus drivers and transportation staff who help keep our students safe every day!

Our school buses travel throughout Nelson County each day, transporting our most precious cargoβ€”our students!

As we celebrate this important week, we remind everyone that school bus safety is a shared responsibility!

🚌 Drivers: Slow down, stay alert, and ALWAYS stop for school buses when required by law.

🚦 Students: Follow your bus driver's instructions, remain seated, and use caution when entering and exiting the bus.

❀️ Families: Remind your children about safe bus stop practices and the importance of staying alert around traffic.

πŸ‘ A special THANK YOU to our incredible NCPS bus drivers and transportation team! Your commitment, patience, and dedication make a difference in the lives of our students and families every single day.

Let's work together to keep our students safe on the bus, at the bus stop, and on the road!
