Every year there is a little confusion on what needs to be done to make sure that our children have a safe transition from the car to the school and into the school and back to your car. The Killeen Independent School District says to alert parents if they happen to see any yellow lights flashing in the school zone this year, please be mindful of it and make sure to slow down. Even though it can be a little inconvenient, especially when you are in a rush when dropping off your child, it is a safety precaution that prevents any danger from happening to your vehicle or your child. School districts also say if you see a flashing red light in the school zone or even a cross guard with a stop sign keep in mind you must stop it is mandatory.

We want our children to make sure that they have a successful and amazing school year, and we need every parent to be a part of that to make it safe. Welcome to the 2023- 2024 school year Texas!
