Yellow buses are back on the road and crossing guards are back on duty for the first day of school.

Officials ask travelers to be cautious around students who may be walking or cycling to school or getting off or onto the bus.

"There's always a lot of confusion and people getting accustomed to their new routines for both the kids and the parents. Try to figure out where everyone parks, where everyone goes. We just want to make sure everyone is paying attention,” Parent Andy Elder said.

Remember to stay off your cell phone while passing through an active school zone and stop when school buses are loading or unloading.

Officers will be on high alert for offenders in school zones.
