Hello Bulldog Families!

This week is starting with a national holiday, and there is no school on Monday. We look forward to welcoming our Bulldogs back on Tuesday for a week of engaging lessons! Thank you to all of our families who came out to Sunlake High School last week to support our feeder pattern community event. We were so proud to showcase our neighborhood!

Please remember that every school day matters, and it is important that your student is in attendance.

Don't forget that your child's report card from Quarter 2 is available in your Parent Portal. Be sure you review this with your student, and reach out to your child's teacher with any questions or a request to conference.

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.

• Be sure that you are driving the speed limit in our car line. Our staff are in the middle of the loop and students are standing close or walking through. You MUST be driving slowly and carefully.

  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.

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.

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!
