Hello Bulldog Families!
This is the last week of Quarter 1. We have enjoyed every minute with our Bulldogs so far!

This week, we have Fall Picture Day on Wednesday. A flyer with more details is attached. Smile everyone!

PTO Fundraiser Update
Today is the final day of our Bulldog Bubble Blitz fundraiser, and we’re so proud of how our community has come together! As of this morning, over 40% of our students are registered, and we’ve raised nearly 70% of our fundraising goal.

Donations close at 11:59PM TONIGHT, but there’s still time to register and earn awesome prizes for your student, their classroom, their grade, and their teacher.
 
Even if we don’t hit our full goal, this fundraiser has already been a huge success. Thanks to your support, many students and teachers have earned incredible prizes, and we’re excited to share that plans are already underway to install outdoor fans in the PE shelter and car lines to help keep our Bulldogs cool.
 
Let’s finish strong! Please share your student’s fundraising link with friends and family. Every donation makes a difference for our school.

We do have several reminders that we ask you to read carefully. We will continue to include these in our weekly email as we address these issues on campus.

Car Riders and Hiker/Bikers

  • Please bring your car rider tag every day for pick up. Be sure the 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.
  • Please refrain from using your cell phone in the car line. This is for the safety of our children and to keep the line moving.
  • If your child is a Hiker/Biker STOP, please bring your pick up tag (car rider tag) every day to pick up. 

Dismissal

Absences

  • If your child is absent, please be sure to report this through your parent portal. 
  • For step-by-step instructions and helpful resources, please visit: 👉 www.pasco.k12.fl.us/attendance/absence 

School Meals

  • Please remember that school meals are no longer automatically free for our students. For more information, please visit this link: https://connectplus.pasco.k12.fl.us/do/fns/
  • Be sure to check your child's account for outstanding balance. The cafeteria must issue an alternative meal for student who have a balance owed. You can sign up for the online meal payment system here.

     

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,
