GRAPHIC THAT IS GREEN, white, and yellow with the mattoon cusd2 logo in the upper left hand corner. There is an image of a school bus with a child exiting from the front of the bus and two school staff members watching him get down safely from the bus. The text reads "School bus safety week october 21-24, 2024. Did you know? Approximately 2,000 kids ride the school bus in just Mattoon's school district. Help us keep them safe.

October 21st-25th is National School Bus Safety Week. This is a great opportunity to impress upon our staff, students, families, and the community the true importance of being safe on and around school buses.

Students in grades K-8 are also invited to participate in Illinois Association for Pupil Transportation's School Bus Safety Poster Contest. Information about the contest can be found at this link. All posters are due by April 1, 2025. This contest allows students to showcase their creative and artistic abilities while raising awareness about the importance of bus safety.

We appreciate all that our staff, families, and community do to help us keep kids safe while they are on or around our buses.
