🚍✨ It's National School Bus Safety Week! (Oct 21-25) ✨🚍
The U.S. Department of Transportation’s NHTSA reminds all drivers to slow down and stay alert around school buses. Remember, passing a school bus is illegal and can be deadly for kids.
🛑 When you see flashing red lights and a stop arm extended, you MUST come to a complete stop. This isn’t just a suggestion; it’s the law!
🔶 Yellow lights mean the bus is getting ready to stop. Slow down and prepare to stop your vehicle. You can only move once the red lights are off and the bus is moving again.
Stay aware of the “Danger Zone”—the area around the bus where children are most at risk, including:
-10 feet in front of the bus
-10 feet on either side of the bus
-Behind the bus
Let’s work together to keep our children safe! For more info on school bus safety, visit: NHTSA School Bus Safety - https://www.nhtsa.gov/road-safety/school-bus-safety#the-topic-bus-stop-safety.

🌟 October is Dyslexia Awareness Month! 🌟
Dyslexia is a common learning difference that affects reading, writing, and spelling. It’s important to understand that dyslexia is not related to intelligence; many individuals with dyslexia are highly creative and capable thinkers.
This month, we aim to raise awareness about dyslexia and its impact on individuals and families. Here are some key facts to know:
📚 What is Dyslexia?
Dyslexia is a neurological condition that makes it challenging to decode written language.
💡 Signs of Dyslexia:
Difficulty reading aloud
Trouble with spelling
Challenges in organizing written work
🤝 How to Support:
Encourage open conversations about learning differences.
Offer patience and understanding.
Explore tailored learning strategies and resources.
The following links provide resources for more information. If you need more information, you can contact your child's teacher or the Dyslexia Specialist on each Bowie ISD campus.
