🚌 It’s National School Bus Safety Week!

Keeping our students safe takes all of us, drivers, students, families, and our community.

Motorists: Slow down, put away distractions, and watch for children near bus stops.

Students: Wait a safe distance from the road, follow your bus driver’s directions, and stay seated while riding.

Families: Take a few minutes to review bus safety expectations with your children.

Thank you to our APS bus drivers and transportation team for helping our students arrive safely and ready to learn each day!

Do you know what signs to look for when your child may be struggling? Do you know how to start the conversation?

Join us for our October Virtual Parent Power Hour: Know Their Hearts: Understanding the Mental Health of School-Aged Children.

This important session will help parents and caregivers learn how to notice meaningful changes, listen without judgment, connect with their child, and know when it’s time to reach out for support. Families will also learn about warning signs, practical ways to start difficult conversations, and free mental health resources available to parents and children.

📅 Wednesday, October 21
⏰ 5:30 PM
💻 Virtual Parent Power Hour

Our goal isn't for parents to have all the answers. It's to help families notice, listen, connect, and act.

Because sometimes a change in behavior is more than just behavior, and starting a conversation can make a difference.

Mark your calendar and join us!
