📚 Back-to-School Safety Tips 🚌

As students head back to school, let’s work together to keep everyone safe.

🚦 School Zones
Slow down and stay alert. Watch for children crossing the street, and always stop for school buses when their lights are flashing.

🚶 Pedestrian Safety
Remind children to use crosswalks and look both ways before crossing. Drivers should be especially alert at intersections during morning arrival and afternoon dismissal.

🚌 School Bus Safety
Teach children to stay out of the bus’s danger zone and wait until the bus has completely stopped before approaching. Students should follow the driver’s instructions and remain seated while the bus is moving.

Let’s help make this school year safe and successful for every student!

📚 Consejos de seguridad para el regreso a clases 🚌

Mientras los estudiantes regresan a clases, trabajemos juntos para mantener a todos seguros.

🚦 Zonas escolares
Reduce la velocidad y mantente alerta. Presta atención a los niños que cruzan la calle y detente siempre cuando un autobús escolar tenga las luces intermitentes.

🚶 Seguridad peatonal
Recuerda a los niños que usen los cruces peatonales y miren a ambos lados antes de cruzar. Los conductores deben estar especialmente atentos en las intersecciones durante la entrada y salida escolar.

🚌 Seguridad en el autobús
Enseña a los niños a mantenerse alejados de la zona de peligro del autobús y a esperar hasta que se detenga por completo antes de acercarse. Deben seguir las instrucciones del conductor y permanecer sentados mientras el autobús esté en movimiento.

¡Ayudemos a que este año escolar sea seguro y exitoso para todos!

🌊 Weekend River Conditions Report 🌊

Friday, August 21st

River levels on the Maquoketa are running just above average flows. The river is flowing between the rocks throughout the park. For the most up to date levels, check the USGS river gauge.

It looks like a beautiful weekend to get out and enjoy the river! Remember your essentials as you head out: a pfd, helmet, sturdy river shoes, and your river skills. Enjoy the gorgeous weekend!

🌊 Informe de las Condiciones del Río para el Fin de Semana 🌊

Viernes, 21 de agosto

Los niveles del río Maquoketa están un poco por encima del flujo promedio. El agua está corriendo entre las rocas por todo el parque. Para ver los niveles más actualizados, consulta el medidor del río de USGS.

¡Parece que tendremos un fin de semana precioso para salir y disfrutar del río! Recuerda llevar lo esencial: un chaleco salvavidas (PFD), casco, zapatos resistentes para el río y, por supuesto, tus destrezas para navegar el río. ¡Disfruta de este hermoso fin de semana!
