Macon County Schools Transportation Department Just a reminder as school is fixing to start. Stop For School Buses What Are the Laws • On a two-lane highway everyone stops. • On a four-lane highway with a center turn lane everyone stops. • If a four-lane highway has a divider, like a median or an unpaved area at least 5 feet wide, traffic in the opposite direction can proceed with caution. Only traffic behind the bus must stop • MEETING A SCHOOL BUS: Any driver meeting a school bus or church bus on which the red stop warning signal lights are flashing should reduce his speed and bring the vehicle to a complete stop while the bus stop signal arm is extended. The vehicle must remain stopped until the stop arm is pulled back and the bus resumes motion.

OVERTAKING A SCHOOL BUS: Any driver approaching a school bus or church bus from the rear shall not pass the bus when red stop warning signal lights are flashing. The vehicle must come to a complete stop when the bus is stopped. The vehicle must remain stopped until the stop arm is pulled back and the bus resumes motion. • School Bus Warning Lights: It is illegal to pass a school bus that has stopped to load or unload students. Never pass on the right side of the bus, as this is where the children enter or exit. This is illegal and can have tragic results. You must stop and remain stopped until: • The bus has started moving, OR • The driver motions for you to proceed, OR • The visual signals are no longer activated such as the red flashing lights go off and/or the stop arm is pulled back. o YELLOW FLASHING LIGHTS: When the yellow lights on the front and back of the bus are flashing the bus is preparing to stop to load or unload children. Motorists should slow down and prepare to stop their vehicles. o RED FLASHING LIGHTS: When the red lights are flashing, and the stop arm is extended this indicates that the bus HAS stopped and that children are now getting on or off the bus. Motorists must stop their cars and wait until the red flashing lights are turned off, the stop arm is withdrawn, and the bus begins moving before they start driving again. • When a school bus is stopped at an intersection to load and unload children, drivers from ALL directions are required to stop until the bus resumes motion (as shown by the red vehicles in the diagram at right). It is a Class A misdemeanor, and the driver can be fined between $250 and $1,000 for not stopping for a stopped school bus. When driving on a highway with separate roadways for traffic in opposite directions, divided by median space or a barrier not suitable for vehicular traffic, the driver need not stop, but should proceed with caution. A turn lane in the middle of a four-lane highway is NOT considered a barrier, but a fifth lane that is suitable for vehicular traffic. Drivers meeting a stopped school bus on this type of road would be required to stop in both directions.

Dear Macon County High School Families,
We hope this message finds you well! As we approach the TCAP (Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program) EOC (End-of-Course) exams for MCHS, we would like to emphasize the importance of attendance during this period.
Exam Dates:
- December 3 English 1 and English 2
- December 9 Biology and State Dual Credit Psychology
- December 10 English 1, English 2, and State Dual Credit History
- December 11 Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, and State Dual Credit Precalculus and Statistics.
These assessments are vital for your child’s educational success, and each day of school leading up to and including the exam days is crucial. We kindly ask that you ensure your child is present at school, arriving on time and ready to do their best.
Attendance is the key to success, not only for daily classroom activities but especially on test days. We appreciate your support in helping your child maintain a consistent school routine, as it plays a significant role in their confidence and performance.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding the exam dates or attendance, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Thank you for your continued support!
