LOVE THE BUS week is February 12th - February 16th!! Thank a Student Transporter when you see them and let then know how much you appreciate them. We LOVE our Bus Drivers!! We could not do it without you! Make sure to show your appreciation to our heroes this week and every day! February is Love the Bus Month, a time for us to celebrate and show appreciation to those who ensure the safety of our students every day, to and from school and on Field Experiences beyond school. A few key points from the NC State Board of Education Department of Public Instruction (DPI) during School Bus Driver Appreciation Week (February 12-16).The school bus is the safest way to get to and from school. The community benefits by saving money using school bus transportation and with improvements to traffic around the school. Take time to show your appreciation to the people who are a major part of a child's education, ensuring their safe arrival and departure from school, and oftentimes making an impact on the lives of kids every day. On behalf of Washington County Schools Board of Education and Interim Superintendent Dr. David O. White, Thank You WCS Bus Drivers, Monitors, and Transportation Staff for all that you do for our scholars and families. https://www.ncbussafety.org/
