Hello Bulldog Families!

This is the last week until Thanksgiving Break! Please be sure that you are prioritizing attendance for your students, as there are many important lessons planned. Please be sure that you have checked your Parent Portal to review your student's Progress Report. Contact your child's teacher for any questions or to set up a conference.

On Friday, we celebrated the 67th day of school, and our staff surprised our students with LOTS of 6-7s around campus! Teachers even planned math lessons with these numbers, and our students were so excited. Now, we have decided never to say 6-7 again…

Thank you to our amazing PTO for hosting our Fall Market on Saturday with fun for students and adults alike. We loved seeing our Bulldogs and their families enjoying the day!

Car Riders and Hiker/Bikers

• Please bring your car rider/pick up tag every day for dismissal. This is getting much better.

  • 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.

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!
