Hello Bulldog Families!
Happy Mother's Day to all our Bulldog moms out there. We appreciate you and hope you have an amazing day!
 
We have three weeks left of school this year, and there is still plenty of learning and fun for our students. Please encourage your child to stay focused on learning, and be sure to prioritize your child's attendance.
 
Students in grades 2-5 focused on reading last week, and this week, they will focus on mathematics during their state assessment. The schedule for this year is attached. During state testing, we will close our campus to visitors so that we can maintain a secure testing environment for our students. Family lunches have ended for this school year. Please plan accordingly.
 

Thank you to all of our families and students for recognizing our teachers and staff last week. We have the BEST team around, and we love to see you appreciate them too.

Tuesday: Third Grade Mathematics FAST, Imagine Learning Club
Wednesday: Fourth Grade Mathematics FAST, Student Council Meting
Thursday: Fifth Grade Mathematics FAST, Imagine Learning Club

Coming next year: For the 2026-2027 school year, our school bell times will remain the same: 9:40 am - 3:50 pm.

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. 

Hiker/Biker Reminders
If your child is riding a bike or scooter to or from school, please be sure they are wearing a helmet. Recently, we have noticed that helmet use has decreased, which is a safety issue. This is also required by Florida Statute 316.2065 and is part of our Hiker/Biker procedures.

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:
    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 or on the road in front of the school. 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.

With Bulldog Pride,
Vanessa Hilton
