There were more than 1,000 school buses on the roads in Clark County this morning as students head back to school after the summer break.

Reporter Parker Collins was at the intersection of Maryland Parkway and Silverado Ranch on Monday morning. There are 3 schools within a mile of the intersection, which many people say is dangerous.
In March, a fourth grader was hit and killed on his bike near the intersection.
Drivers around the valley are being reminded to be extra careful if they are near a school today.
Happy first day of school! 🏫 School is back in session today for Clark County kids and we want to remind everyone to expect more traffic and more kids out and about - walking to school, riding their bikes and at bus stops. Be safe out there! pic.twitter.com/2MBR2q014t

It's not only the first day of school, it's also the first day someone's child is driving to school alone, the first time a parent is driving their kindergartener to school & the first time many parents are driving their kids to a new school. Be kind to your fellow drivers today! pic.twitter.com/4Q5UKoYB5R
