🚌 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! ❤️🐾

Immunization Reminder for All Families

Arkansas law requires all students attending Arkansas schools to be vaccinated against certain diseases unless an official exemption form is filed.

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.

------------------------------------------------

Recordatorio de Inmunización para Todas las Familias

La ley de Arkansas requiere que todos los estudiantes que asisten a las escuelas de Arkansas estén vacunados contra ciertas enfermedades, a menos que se presente un formulario oficial de exención.

Las exenciones deben renovarse cada año escolar y deben solicitarse durante el verano, antes del nuevo año escolar. El Departamento de Salud de Arkansas puede ayudar con las exenciones. Llame al 870-777-2191 o visite healthy.arkansas.gov
.

A partir de hoy, los estudiantes no podrán asistir a la escuela hasta que se corrija esta deficiencia o se presente un formulario de exención. Por favor, traiga o envíe la documentación correspondiente a la enfermera de la escuela.
