October 21-25, 2024, is National School Bus Safety Week!
As we recognize this important week, here’s a key safety reminder: In Texas, when a school bus extends its stop sign, drivers must come to a complete stop and remain stopped until the bus has moved, the flashing lights are no longer active, or the bus driver signals that it’s safe to proceed.
The U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) urges all drivers to slow down and stay vigilant in school zones and around school buses in their communities.
Drive safely!
Wednesday, October 16, 2024, is a 1:00 dismissal . Buses will run then and students need to be picked up at 1:00.
As we wrap up Fentanyl Awareness Week, today's tip is for the parents:
Whether you want to inform your child of the risks or are concerned about a loved one who uses drugs, it's time to talk about fentanyl. Have a calm, direct conversation, and listen without judgment. Work together to make a plan to stay safe.
Naloxone is a medication that can reverse an overdose from opioids, including fentanyl. Keeping it on hand could mean the difference between life and death — for you or someone else. Naloxone is available at many pharmacies in Texas without a prescription.
Thursday's Fentanyl Awareness tip explains what youth and young adults need to know...
Many fake pills are made to look just like prescription Xanax (bars), Percocet (perk), opioids (painkillers) like Vicodin and Oxycodone (oxy), and stimulants like Adderall (addy).
These fake pills are increasingly common, and fentanyl may be mixed into them. Even in small doses, fentanyl can be deadly.
Be prepared to save a life. Learn the signs of a fentanyl poisoning and speak with your doctor or pharmacist about obtaining naloxone to carry and keep at home.
Today's tip for Fentanyl Awareness are the signs to watch for:
-Small, constricted "pinpoint pupils"
-Face is extremely pale and/or feels cold or clammy to the touch
-Body goes limp
-Fingernails or lips have a purple or blue color
-Vomiting or making gurgling noises
-Cannot be awakened or unable to speak
-Breathing or heartbeat slows or stops
