City urges safety as students head back to the classrooms

As students pack their lunches for the school semester, the City of Stratford urges everyone to drive carefully.

Officials say with school returning next week, there will be an increase in vehicle and pedestrian traffic.

These include staying alert around school buses and in school safety zones, obeying proper rules at crossing guard locations, driving slowly through school zones and any other areas where young people walk and to look for signs.
