A bright yellow school bus illustration is centered on a white background with the words “thank you” in large cursive letters above it. Below “thank you,” the text reads “for going the EXTRA mile!” in a mix of serif and sans-serif fonts.

🚌 National School Bus Safety Week: October 20–24, 2025

This week, Hope Public Schools proudly joins districts across the nation in celebrating National School Bus Safety Week — a time to recognize the importance of school bus safety and to honor the dedication of our transportation professionals.

This year’s theme, “Safe Stops. Stronger Communities.,” reminds us that safety starts with everyone — our drivers, students, parents, and community members.

🚸 Remember:

🚘Drivers must stop when a school bus’s red lights are flashing and the stop arm is extended.

🚨Always stay alert and slow down in school zones.

Every school day, our bus drivers safely transport hundreds of students to and from school. We thank them for their commitment, professionalism, and care. Please take a moment this week to remind students about safe behavior at the bus stop and on the bus — and to thank our transportation team for keeping our students safe each day.

Let’s work together to make every trip a safe one! ❤️🐾
