Hello Bulldog Families!
Thank you to all the families who joined our Vocabulary Parade on Friday. We loved showing off the academic vocabulary and creativity of our students and staff. 

This week is School Psychologist Week, and we are so appreciative of our psychologist, Dr. Dongo, who does an amazing job of serving our students at Bexley!

Please be sure that you are prioritizing attendance for your students. We have just three short weeks until Thanksgiving break, and our teachers have planned important learning during this time.

Please read the following reminders (and share them with any family members) about issues that are continuing on our campus.

Car Riders and Hiker/Bikers

• 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.
• Please bring your car rider/pick up tag every day for dismissal. 
  • For car riders, 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.
  • If your child is a Hiker/Biker STOP, please bring your pick up tag (car rider tag) every day to pick up. 

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.

Absences

• If your child is absent, please be sure to report this through your parent portal. Instructions are available here 👉 www.pasco.k12.fl.us/attendance/absence 

School Meals

• School meals are no longer automatically free for our students. Check your child's account for outstanding balance today. The cafeteria must issue an alternative meal for student who have a balance owed. 
   

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
