Morning Missy Message®️ I know it's been a while, but today is important. It's officially #BackToSchool time for NOVA. Consider this your reminder to pack your patience this morning and keep an eye out for more children on the roads and sidewalks. #SlowDown #PhoneDown #LoveYou

I guess I wasn’t clear enough, because I spotted a white Mazda pass a stopped school bus near Franklin Farm this morning. SLOW DOWN PHONE DOWN 👉STOP FOR SCHOOL BUSES👈 WATCH FOR PEDESTRIANS Thank you for your attention to this matter! #BackToSchool

No, I'm not talking about the president. I'm talking about an innovative way that VDOT repaves select roads in the district! #Recylce #WordOfTheWeek #TheMoreYouKnow

Be on the lookout for vulnerable road users as school districts continue to return this week. Don’t let distractions or tiredness make the rest of your surroundings blend in, like when I saw this guy while walking the dog before bed last night!
