Crossing guards helping FAVE students after school.
Don’t forget that school starts back up in Decatur next Monday, August 4th. The lighter summer traffic will give way to more traffic in general to include school buses. Please keep in mind we will also have many more young cyclists and pedestrians making their way to school. Please slow down and pay extra attention and plan for a little extra commute time to prevent speeding through the school zones.
There will be an increased presence of Decatur officers in and around the school zones to remind everyone school is back in session. Don’t forget that Westchester Elementary is now open with applicable school zones on Scott Boulevard.
Atlanta Public Schools will also start back Monday, August 4th and DeKalb County Schools start back Monday, August 11th. When traffic is backed up or stopped and your frustration level rises, just sit back and remember the excitement of the first day of school. Then relax and do your part to make sure everyone gets to where they are going safely.
