School is back in session

The summer is gone, and school is back in session.

While the calendar many not signal it, summer vacation has ended for many area school districts. With the start of school, state police are urging motorists to slow down and use extra caution while driving.

Drivers are reminded that yellow flashing lights on the bus indicate the bus is getting ready to stop. Red flashing lights and a stop signal arm indicates that the bus has stopped and children are getting on and off the bus. Motorists should stop at least 10 feet before reaching the bus, and may not proceed until the flashing signal lights are no longer activated. Fines and points are severe for violations.

From all of us here at WPPA/T-102 News, have a great, and safe, first day of school.
