Rayville Police Chief Willie Robinson would like to remind all citiens of Rayville that the new school year will be starting this week on Aug. 18.
“Motorists should be advised they will need to exercise caution in residential areas and be alert for buses stopping to load and unload children,” the chief said. “Motorists should also be alert and observe the posted speed limits in school zones.”
Chief Robinson commented that his officers will be vigilantly patrolling during school opening and closing hours.
Chief Robinson would like to encourage parents to get their children involved in many of the excellent clubs, sports programs and extracurricular activities offered by the schools.
“Of course, the primary purpose of our schools is the education of our children,” he said, “but school activities also offer a great environment for our children to socialize in a positive way.”
Chief Robinson encourages all citizens to come by the Rayville Police Department at 900 Harrison St. or to call 728-4431 if you need his help in any way.
