Santa Maria-Bonita School District welcomed students back to campus for the first day of school, with a focus on safety. The district, along with the California Highway Patrol, reminded drivers to take extra precautions during peak hours when students are walking to and from school.
Safety Reminders
According to Samantha Scroggon, public information officer for the district, many families walk their kids to school, and some students walk alone. The district is urging the community to come together to keep an eye out for the children and ensure their safe arrival at school.
Drivers are advised to leave earlier, drive slowly, and be aware of their surroundings, especially during the morning and afternoon hours when streets around campuses tend to be congested.
