Hello Bulldog Families!

We enjoyed welcoming back our Bulldogs last week, and are looking forward to the week ahead.

As we begin the second semester, we want to remind everyone that every day matters. Our teachers are planning engaging lessons, and it is important that your student is at school for each of them.

Weekly Agenda
Monday: Report Cards available in Parent Portal
Tuesday: Community Family Event, 6:00 pm, Sunlake High School
Wednesday: Student Council Meeting
Thursday: 3:15 pm SAC Meeting, 4:15 pm PTO Meeting

📢 We Want to Hear from You! Pasco County Schools is committed to creating a positive and supportive learning environment for every student. Your voice plays a vital role in that mission. Take the District Family Survey by clicking this survey link.

THIS WEEK: On Tuesday, our school will be on display as part of our Feeder Pattern Community Event. Please plan to join us at Sunlake High School on January 13 at 6:00 pm. We will have many students presenting and performing, and you can also explore the curriculum connections with our middle schools and high school. See the attached flyer, and we look forward to seeing you there.

Please read the following reminders, and share them with any family members who are coming to our campus.

Morning Car Rider Procedures
Please remember that to assist with morning traffic exiting our school parking lot, we will close the outside car lane early, and cars will need to merge into the one lane for the remainder of arrival. You can help by being prepared to merge AND kindly allowing other cars to merge as needed. As families get used to this procedure, the car line will move quicker, and you will wait less after dropping off your child. Please pay careful attention to keep the line moving AND to keep all of our students safe. Additional reminders are below:

• Be sure the car tag is up when you enter the car line. Remember to take it down from your mirror as soon as your child is unloaded at arrival or loaded at dismissal.
• In the morning, please wait for a Safety Patrol or staff member to open your car door and welcome your student.

Dismissal

• Change of Dismissal? This must occur before 2:30 pm at this link: https://bes.pasco.k12.fl.us/mform/view.php?id=13355
• Early Pick-up? This must occur before 3:00 pm. This has been an issue recently. Please be sure to plan around this policy.

Absences: Please be sure to report this through your parent portal. Instructions are available here 👉 www.pasco.k12.fl.us/attendance/absence 

Please remind your Bulldog of our school expectations every day.

• Be respectful.
• Be responsible.
• Be safe.
   

We love our families to visit our campus, and want to remind you that you must bring your ID every time. Help us keep our Bulldogs safe.

We look forward to seeing you this week!

With Bulldog Pride,
Vanessa Hilton
Principal
Bexley Elementary School
