Hello Bulldog Families!

We want to extend an extra thanks to all the volunteers who supported our Field Day on Friday. What a great time for our students to engage in positive physical activity with so much fun as well. Our Odyssey of the Mind teams competed this weekend, and two of our three teams will move on to the state level competition! We are so proud of our Bulldogs!

We have three months left in this school year, and every day matters! Please be sure to prioritize your child's attendance. 

This week, we will host the Spring Book Fair. Be sure to add funds to your child's account if you want them to visit the Book Fair. 

Monday: Spring Book Fair begins
Tuesday: Girls on the Run, First Grade Read Across America event
Wednesday: Third Grade Fieldtrip
Thursday: SAC Meeting and PTO Meeting
Friday: Girls on the Run, Second Grade Wax Museum event

Time to order your yearbook for 2025-2026! Yearbooks are only $25 until March 31. Check out the attached flyer for ordering details.

Please read the following reminders, and share them with any family members who are coming to our campus.
Important! Morning supervision does not begin until 9:25 am. Please do not drop off your student before that time, unless they are involved in a special activity. Early drop off or arrival should not occur in the car line or at Hiker/Biker. 

Car Rider Line Procedures
We have had several safety issues in our car line recently, and we need your help!

• You must not use your cell phone in our car line at any time. As soon as you enter the line in the morning or afternoon, please put your cell phone down so that you can pay attention and ensure the safety of everyone around you. Even while you are waiting, it is important that you are NOT on your phone.

  Morning Car Line Notes:
  Be prepared to merge into one lane for arrival.  You can help by being prepared to merge AND kindly allowing other cars to merge as needed.
  Students may ONLY be dropped off at the numbered poles to an adult or Safety Patrol officer. Do NOT drop off your child anywhere else in the parking lot.
  After the car line is closed, students must be escorted to the office by an adult.
