Hello Bulldog Families!
Thank you for helping to make our 2025-2026 school year so amazing. We loved seeing so many families at our end of year celebrations, and appreciate all of the assistance from our volunteer crew who made sure our end of year bash was fun for everyone. Thank you to our incredible PTO for planning such engaging events for our students.
End of year reminders:
- We have many student belongings in our Lost and Found. We will keep these items until June 11, and then they will be donated to a local charity.
- If your student did not attend the last day of school, important items were brought to the front office for pick up. These items will be kept through the end of June, and then donated or discarded.
- The district release date for end of year report cards has not yet been shared.
Summer Fun! Looking for fun ways for your Bulldog to stay engaged this summer? Check out the local library!
