At Yerger Middle School, student safety is always our top priority.

Beginning tomorrow, Thursday, August 28, 2025, we’ll be adding a new tool at our entrances called OpenGate: a walk-through system designed to help us keep our campus safe and welcoming.

It’s quick, easy, and feels just like walking through a regular doorway. Staff will be on hand to make sure the process is smooth and comfortable for everyone.

We appreciate your support as we take this step to protect our kids and ensure Yerger remains a safe place to learn and grow.

🚸 Back to School = Back to Bus Safety 🚌

As the new school year kicks into gear, here's a reminder for all drivers: be extra cautious around school buses.
It's time to stay alert and watch out for school buses and children on the roads.

Every time a school bus stops, it’s picking up or dropping off precious cargo. When the red lights are flashing and the stop arm is out, you must stop — it’s not just the law, it’s about keeping kids safe!

A few reminders for all drivers:
🔸 Slow down in school zones
🔸 Stay alert near crosswalks and neighborhoods
🔸 Never pass a stopped school bus — from either direction

Let’s all be patient, stay focused, and make safety a priority. A few extra seconds could save a life.
