🚌💚💛 National School Bus Safety Week | October 19–23, 2026 💛💚🚌

This week, we celebrate our transportation team and all the everyday heroes who help keep our Knights safe on the journey to and from school! 🛡️

This year’s theme, “Safe Rides, Everyday Heroes,” reminds us that school bus safety is a shared responsibility. From our dedicated bus drivers and transportation staff to our students, families, educators, and motorists, we all play an important role in protecting our children.

Let’s work together to keep our students safe by:
🚌 Following school bus safety rules.
🚸 Stopping for school buses when required by law.
💛 Being alert and patient around bus stops and school buses.
👏 Thanking our bus drivers for the important work they do every day!

To our BCPS transportation team: Thank you for being everyday heroes and helping our Knights arrive safely every day! 💚💛
