This week, as we prepare for even more buses to be on the road, we urge you to be more aware of school bus and pedestrian safety during your morning and afternoon travels. Let’s work together for a great start to the 2022-2023 school year! #WeAreCaddo

While we salute all our teachers who have answered their calling in the classroom, we recognize that nearly 70% of K-12 educators across the U.S. are women. On this International Women's Day, we send a special thanks to all the women who make Caddo Schools run. We couldn't do it without you! #WeAreCaddo #InternationalWomensDay
