🚌 School Buses Are Back on the Road – Help Keep Our Students Safe!

As the new school year begins, thousands of Arkansas students will be riding school buses each day. Every stop matters, and every driver plays an important role in keeping our children safe.

When a school bus is stopped with its red lights flashing and stop arm extended, Arkansas law requires all drivers to stop from both directions, even on most four-lane roads. Drivers must remain stopped until the red lights stop flashing, the stop arm is retracted, and the bus begins moving again.

Please remember:
🛑 Never pass a stopped school bus with its red lights flashing.
📏 Stop at least 30 feet from the bus.
🚸 Watch carefully for students crossing the street or walking near the roadway.
📵 Put your phone down and stay focused, especially in school zones.

These laws exist because a child's life depends on them. A few extra moments of patience can make all the difference in helping every student arrive safely at school and return home each afternoon.

Thank you for doing your part to keep our Pioneer students—and all Arkansas students—safe. ❤️🚌

🚗 Traffic Alert

As we kick off the new school year, we wanted to give families a friendly heads up that traffic is typically a little slower during the first week of school.

With hundreds of new students and families joining Gentry Public Schools this year, and as one of Arkansas' fastest growing school districts, many drivers will be learning our campuses and traffic patterns for the first time.

Please plan to leave a few minutes early, allow for a little extra travel time, and extend patience and grace to one another. This is a normal part of the first week, and traffic flow usually improves quickly as everyone settles into their routines.

You can also find campus traffic flow maps in our Back-to-School Guide to help make your arrival as smooth as possible. Thank you for helping us make the start of the school year safe and successful for everyone.

Go Pioneers! ❤️
