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! ❤️🐾

💪 Student Leadership in Action / Liderazgo Estudiantil en Acción
A few weeks ago, several of our students stepped up to lend a hand and support their community.
Shoutout to Kylan Brown, Noah Cheatham, Devante Jones, JJ Gulley, and cheerleader Madison Phillips for taking initiative and representing Hope Schools with pride.
Moments like these remind us that leadership isn’t just shown on the field or in the classroom—it’s shown through action. 🖤❤️

💪 Liderazgo Estudiantil en Acción
Hace unas semanas, varios de nuestros estudiantes dieron un paso al frente para ayudar y apoyar a su comunidad.
Reconocimiento especial a Kylan Brown, Noah Cheatham, Devante Jones, JJ Gulley y a la porrista Madison Phillips por tomar la iniciativa y representar a Hope Schools con orgullo.
Momentos como estos nos recuerdan que el liderazgo no solo se demuestra en el campo o en el salón de clases, sino también a través de las acciones. 🖤❤️

Exemptions must be renewed each school year and should be applied for during the summer, prior to the new school year. The Arkansas Department of Health can assist with exemptions. Call 870-777-2191 or visit healthy.arkansas.gov.
As of today, students may not attend school until this deficiency is corrected or an exemption form is provided. Please bring or send the appropriate documentation to your school nurse.

Let’s hit the road and support our Bobcats! 🐾
#GoBobcats #WeCelebrate
Wait a minute… 👀 We’ve got an update!
From 200 forms to just 100 forms left—Bobcat community, you’re showing up BIG. 💯🐾
✅ Every completed form = more resources for your student and no-cost meals for ALL.
📍 Still need a form? Stop by your campus front office today.
We’re sooooo close! Let’s finish this together and make that $1,000,000 impact. 💪
#WeInform #WeAlign
⏳ Deadline day is almost here.
200 missing forms = $1,000,000 gone. That’s support we can’t afford to lose.
✅ Every completed form = more resources for your student and no-cost meals for ALL.
📍 Need a form? Stop by your campus front office this morning.
This is the time. One form. Big impact.
#WeInform #WeAlign
🚨 Final 48 hours to act.
We are ~200 forms short, and without them, our schools risk losing up to $1,000,000 in funding.
📌 That’s fewer resources for classrooms, fewer opportunities for your student, and a risk to no-cost meals.
Parents/Guardians: If you need a form, visit your child’s front office today.
Let’s finish this strong—together we win.
#WeInform #WeAlign
⏰ 200 forms still missing = $1M left on the table.
These forms provide no-cost meals for your student and strengthen programs across every campus.
👉 If you don’t have a form, your campus front office staff can get you one today.
💡 Every family matters—your form could be the one that makes the difference.
#WeInform #WeAlign
⚠️ 200 FORMS SHORT. OUR LAST PUSH. WE NEED EVERYONE'S HELP
That’s the difference in up to $1,000,000 for our schools—and keeping breakfast & lunch at no cost for your student.
📍 Don’t have a form? Get one today from your child’s campus front office.
✅ Every single form = more resources for your student, their classroom, and their school.
Let’s close this gap together.
#WeInform #WeAlign
Thank you for helping us keep our stadium safe! 🐾🏈
Go Bobcats! 💙❤️
