Carthage ISD

🚌 It’s National School Bus Safety Week! 💛 During #NationalSchoolBusSafetyWeek, take a moment to thank your child’s bus driver for keeping our Bulldogs safe every single day. 🐾

YOU can help keep our students safe by following these laws when you're on the road and see a school bus:

🛑 On two-lane and multi-lane roads (even those divided only by a center left-turn lane): Drivers in both directions must stop for a bus loading or unloading students.
🛑 On a divided highway with a physical median, unpaved space, or barrier: Only vehicles traveling in the same direction as the bus are required to stop. Vehicles on the opposite side should proceed with caution.
🛑 School buses are required by law to stop at all railroad crossings.

Failure to stop can result in HEFTY fines , but more importantly, it puts children’s lives at risk. 🚸

REMINDER that there's no school on Monday! Have a great long weekend, #BulldogFamily !!! 🐾🐾🐾

We couldn’t let the day get away without recognizing our Technology team on #NatioanalITProfessionalsDay. If it works, thank our Tech team. If it doesn’t, try restarting, then thank them anyway. 🖥️ But, as you all know, they are just a phone call and/or a ticket away when you need them to save the day! 👏✨

Happy Labor Day from Carthage ISD! 🎉 Today we celebrate the hard work and dedication that keep our community strong. ❤️🐾

🚨 Notice for Tennis Court Use 🚨 The tennis courts at Carthage High School will be closed after dark until further notice due to an electrical issue with the lights that is preventing them from operating properly. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience as we work to resolve this. 🐾 Thank you for your cooperation, Bulldog Family!

Beginning this school year, House Bill 1481 requires all student cell phones and personal communication devices to be turned off and out of sight throughout the school day. This statewide law supports an environment focused on teaching, learning and student engagement.

🇺🇸 Reminder 🇺🇸 All Carthage ISD campuses and the Administration Office will be closed next week.

Today we honor #Juneteenth, a powerful reminder of the end of slavery in the United States. Celebrated every June 19, the holiday originated in Texas, marking the day in 1865 when Union troops arrived and announced that enslaved people were finally free, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued in 1862. Let us reflect on this important chapter in our nation’s history. Happy #FreedomDay! 🔴🟡🟢
