Hawks Say Hello Week
This week, our Student SAVE Club is sponsoring Hawks Say Hello Week at NBMS! Throughout the week, we’ll be encouraging our students to make connections, welcome others, and spread a little kindness around our school.
A simple “hello” can go a long way—especially for a student who may be new, having a tough day, or simply needs to know that someone sees them. We want to challenge our Hawks to look up, smile, say hello, and make someone feel welcome!
Thank you to our Student SAVE Club for helping us build a school culture where every Hawk feels seen, heard, valued, and included. Ask your child how they are celebrating saying Hello!
Bus Ridership Week
Dear Parents:
Approximately 750,000 students ride more than 14,000 school buses each school day in North Carolina. State funding for pupil transportation in each school district is determined by three factors: number of school buses operated, total expenditures, and number of students riding. The number of students riding is determined by an actual count taken in September each school year.
The student ridership count this year will be taken the week of September 28- October 2, 2026.
Funding from the state is based on the number of students that we transport daily. It is important for us to operate as efficiently as possible to work with current funding and bus allotments. If your child is going to ride a school bus to and/or from school anytime this school year, it is very important that he/she ride as many days as possible during the week of the count. Changes in service (e.g., combined routes, double runs, and a reduction in the number of buses operated) may be required if ridership and/or state funding is insufficient to justify our current service schedule.
I encourage you to let your child ride a school bus. The school bus is a safe form of transportation to and from school. It is our goal in the transportation department to provide safe, reliable, and efficient transportation service to our state’s most valuable resource (OUR STUDENTS).
Sincerely,
Andrew Rogers
