Hello Bulldog Families!

This week begins with a Teacher Planning Day on Monday, and we will welcome our Bulldog students on Tuesday for the start of Quarter 4. Report cards will be available in your Parent Portal on Friday, and we encourage you to review this carefully, and reach out to your child's teacher for any questions or concerns. We need every student engaged in learning every day for the remainder of the year, and appreciate your support. In addition, be sure to prioritize your child's attendance every day.

Monday: No school for students
Tuesday: Girls on the Run, Start of Quarter 4
Wednesday: Bow Wow Bucks Boutique open for students

Please read the following reminders, and share them with any family members who are coming to our campus.

Important! Morning supervision does not begin until 9:25 am. Please do not drop off your student before that time, unless they are involved in a special activity. Early drop off or arrival should not occur in the car line or at Hiker/Biker. 

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.

    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. 


Dismissal


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.
  • 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,
