Bus Safety Instruction at Lakeview
As part of Safety Week, Lakeview Lions were instructed in bus safety policies and procedures by the district Transportation Department.
Even though Lakeview is a walk-in school, our students often ride buses on field trips. You may want to review the Safe Travel to and from School: Student Conduct on School Buses policies below or on the district webpage at https://provo.edu/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/6605P1SchoolBusRules.pdf
And of course, always stop for school buses when the red lights are flashing.
