Back-to-School Safety Tips for Drivers, Cyclists, and Pedestrians
********************************
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE... It you see a school van (little bus) with its lights on and sign out... be patient. There is a reason these students are on that van. Drivers need to assist these students into and out of the van. Drivers then need to make sure the student is buckled in safely. They are going as fast as they can with the students safety being the first priority! Don't beep! Don't pass the van! This driver has a tough job. Please be patient.

Weymouth Fire Department Announces Launch of Community Connect
The Weymouth Fire Department is pleased to announced they've begun using Community Connect, a secure and easy to use platform that allows you to share critical information about your household that will aid first responders and emergency response personnel when responding to your residence, and encourage residents to sign-up for the service at no cost.
Community Connect allows residents to provide critical property and occupant information to Weymouth Fire that they can access at time of response, leading to better outcomes in case of fire or medical emergency. Some examples of information you can provide include who lives at your residence, information about your pet(s), details regarding functional needs like mobility, and more. All data is safe and only available to first responders at the time of emergency, and Community Connect utilizes the same data security and encryption standards found in online banking.
