🚌 NATIONAL SCHOOL BUS SAFETY WEEK 🚌

October 19–23, 2026, is National School Bus Safety Week!

Every school day, students throughout our community rely on school buses to get them safely to and from school.

The Purcellville Police Department reminds all motorists to use extra caution when approaching school buses, traveling through school zones, and driving near bus stops.

🛑 RED FLASHING LIGHTS AND AN EXTENDED STOP SIGN MEAN STOP! Follow Virginia's school bus stopping laws.
⚠️ Slow down and remain alert in school zones.
👀 Watch carefully for children crossing streets or approaching bus stops.
📵 Avoid distractions and keep your eyes on the road.
🚸 Never assume a child sees your vehicle or will remain on the sidewalk.

Remember, children can be unpredictable, and a moment of inattention can have devastating consequences.
Let's work together to keep our students safe, one stop at a time!
