This week is National School Bus Safety Week. We'd like to remind everyone California law requires drivers to stop in both directions when a school bus has flashing red lights on. Drivers must stay stopped until the red lights are off, and children are on or off the bus and safely out of the road.
Our officers along with deputies from the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department will make an emphasis this week on enforcing these laws to keep our students safe.

Hesperia School Police, Hesperia Unified School District
Hesperia Unified School District is pleased to announce that we will be using the Raptor Visitor Management System in all of our schools as part of our campus safety programs for students and faculty. All visitors, volunteers, and visiting staff will be asked to present a government-issued ID, such as a Driver’s License, state ID, etc. The Raptor system only checks the visitor's name and date of birth for comparison with a national database of registered sex offenders. No other data from the ID is gathered or recorded. The system is not connected to any other database such as the Department of Motor Vehicles, and information is not shared with any outside agency.
This implementation will help increase the efficiency in our offices, allowing District-approved volunteers to spend their valuable time in classrooms instead of in the front office. Thank you, in advance, for your support in enhancing safety in our schools.
