In Cobb County, a practice bus ride is being held for kindergarteners and first-graders. This event is taking place ahead of the first day of school on Monday. The purpose of the test ride is to give students and their parents a chance to familiarize themselves with the bus route before school starts.

The district organizes this practice ride annually. On the ride, bus drivers review safety rules with the young students. The event allows families to board at various stops across the county and ride to a designated school.

Further details about the practice bus ride and school bus safety are available from Atlanta News First.
