This year’s theme, “Take Off with School Breakfast,” reminds parents and stakeholders that a healthy school breakfast helps ensure students’ academic success in school so they can “take off” and reach their goals.

After new guidance from the CDC, students and staff will no longer be required to wear a mask while riding an HPS bus.
