Manchester Township Schools is proud to recognize National School Bus Safety Week, which takes place annually during the third week of October. This nationwide event, sponsored by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, promotes safety awareness for students within our communities.
This year, the district reminds all drivers of the critical importance of stopping when a school bus displays red flashing lights and extends its stop arm. In New Jersey, it is illegal to pass a school bus under these conditions. When approaching a bus with yellow flashing lights, drivers should slow down and prepare to stop.
Parents, guardians, and community members are also encouraged to remain alert for students during school hours—whether they are waiting at bus stops, walking to school, or participating in outdoor activities. By following these guidelines, we can help ensure that every student’s loading and unloading process is safe and smooth.
