It's back-to-school time and students in both Caney and Sedan are headed back to class today.

Everyone is reminded that kids will be out and about, walking and biking to school. Drivers should pay close attention to school zones and slow down immediately when entering those zones. Stop for anyone in a crosswalk and follow all crossing guard directions. Keep crosswalks and intersections clear so children are not forced to walk into active traffic. Stay alert in residential neighborhoods where children may dart out from between parked cars. Do not text, call, or look at handheld devices while driving. Look out for children riding bikes and give them at least three feet of space.

Taking extra precautions can help ensure that kids have a fun and safe first day of school.
