Hello Bulldog Families!

Students will watch the district Veterans Day celebration and participate in required instruction to ensure our Bulldogs understand the importance of this holiday to honor the patriotism and willingness of military veterans to serve and sacrifice for the common good. Thank you to our Bexley family and community members who have proudly served our country. We appreciate our veterans.

  • In the morning, please wait for a Safety Patrol or staff member to open your car door and welcome your student. 
  • If your child is a Hiker/Biker STOP, please bring your pick up tag (car rider tag) every day to pick up.
