Held during the third full week of October each year, National School Bus Safety Week is an active and evolving public education program and an excellent way for parents, students, teachers, motorists, school bus operators, school administrators, and other interested parties - to join forces and address the importance of school bus safety. Designed to promote school bus safety, school districts throughout the country observe School Bus Safety Week.

2019 National School Bus Safety Week: October 21-25, 2019 and the theme is "My School Bus, The Safest Form of Student Transportation!" The theme of National School Bus Safety Week is derived from the Poster Contest the year before. The 2018 winning poster, depicted above, was drawn by Shivangi Ojha, an 8th Grader at Belton ISD in Temple, TX.
