Hello Bulldog Families!

We do have several reminders that we ask you to read carefully. We will continue to include these in our weekly email as we address these issues on campus.

Car Riders

• Please bring your car rider tag every day for pick up. Remember to take it down from your mirror as soon as your child is unloaded at arrival or loaded at dismissal.
• Please refrain from being on your cell phone in the car rider line.
• We will begin closing the car rider line at 9:40 am each morning. If you arrive after that time, please plan to park and walk your child into the office.

Hiker/Bikers

• 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 “bikers” that they must walk their bike/skateboard/scooter on to and off of our Bexley campus.

• Breakfast carts will be available on our campus when arrival begins and students who purchase a breakfast will eat in the classroom.
• You can sign up for the online meal payment system here.

• We have picnic tables outside of the cafeteria for parents to eat lunch with their children. Please be aware of the weather and join your child for lunch on day without rain.

   

Please remind your Bulldog of our school expectations every day.

• Be respectful.

• 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!
