Mister Rogers starts off by showing two name tags and asking viewers to pick the one that says "Francois Clemmons." The other tag, which says "school bus," is put on the Trolley which is still decorated as a bus. In the Neighborhood of Make-Believe, Francois Clemmons sings a song he made up using the names of the Neighborhood children. Dr. and Mrs. Platypus visit the castle where they, along with King Friday and Queen Sara, share that they miss their children who are off at school. Meanwhile, at Someplace Else, Handyman Negri answers questions about playing the guitar before everyone enters the new school. Inside, each of the children find their seats before they sing along with Francois Clemmons' new song. Returning to the Neighborhood of Make-Believe, the children are excited about school and share their joy with everyone at the castle. Returning the house, Mister Rogers takes viewers to see the outside and inside of a real school bus. The driver of the bus, Grace Lutz, takes Mister Rogers for a ride and talks to him about all that is involved in driving a school bus. To conclude for the day, Mister Rogers talks about his fond memories of school and sings I'm Proud of You. Part of the "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood" series.
