🚌 It’s National School Bus Safety Week! 🛑
This week, we honor the incredible drivers, monitors, mechanics, and transportation staff who keep our students safe every single day. Rain or shine, they greet each child with a smile, navigate our roads with care, and model COURAGE in motion.
💛Did you know? School buses are one of the safest ways for students to travel—but safety takes all of us. Families, please remind your children to:
- Stay seated
- Use quiet voices and kind words
- Wait for the driver’s signal before crossing the street
- Never chase a bus or walk behind it
📏 Fun fact: If you added up all the miles our school buses drive in a normal day—3,400 miles—it would equal the distance of a road trip from Miami, Florida to Seattle, Washington! That’s how far our transportation team goes to keep kids safe.
👏 To our transportation team: You are the first hello and the last goodbye each day. You build trust, ensure safety, and help our district run smoothly. Thank you for your dedication, your patience, and your heart. We see you. We appreciate you. We celebrate you.
Thank you, transportation team!

🐾 Bulldog Pride in Action!
Yesterday, we had the joy of visiting our Bulldogs and what an inspiring visit it was. The Academy is working hard to make a difference, and it shows in every corner of the building.
Meet Ms. Su Sheridan, a experienced educator from Elkhorn Middle School who’s embraced her new role at the high school with heart and dedication. She’s making a powerful impact and connecting beautifully with her students.
Shoutout to Simani Hunt, Avery Ford, and Isaiah Miller- these students are setting goals and absolutely crushing them. We couldn’t be prouder of their drive and determination.
We loved spending time with our Dogs and seeing the incredible work happening every day. Keep leading, keep growing, and keep showing that Bulldog spirit! 💙

From feathers to scales to shells, students explored real-life examples that connected beautifully with their reading unit. Cross-cutting concepts like this make learning about phenomena all the more special. It’s moments like these that remind us: when learning is interactive and joyful, it sticks. Just look at those smiles!
Way to be courageous, Patriots!

Events like these remind us how powerful it is when schools and communities come together to support our families.
A huge shout out to Miss Latissa Spradlin, Hearn’s phenomenal FRYSC, for leading the charge with heart and hustle. Her dedication to our Hornets shines through in everything she does, and we’re so grateful for the care and connection she brings to our school community.
