Hello Bulldog Families!

This week will mark the halfway point for the first quarter of our school year. Student progress so far will be reported at the end of the week. In addition, we have state progress monitoring assessments continuing. You can check the schedule for this week below.

Weekly Agenda
Tuesday: State Reading Testing for Third Graders 
Wednesday: State Reading Testing for Fourth Graders, PTO Spirit Night at Culver's (21362 Walmart Wy, Lutz, FL 33549) 
Thursday: State Reading Testing for Fifth Graders, Constitution Day
Friday: Progress Reports available in myStudent/PascoONE app
 

Last week, on Patriot's Day, students learned about the 911 tragedy, with a focus on the heroes and helpers who continue to support our communities today. Ask your child if they are thinking of becoming a “helper” when they grow up!

Coming Next Week:
Celebrate Freedom Week
9/21 - SAC Meeting and PTO Meeting
9/22 - State Mathematics Test for Fifth Graders

We do have several reminders that are critical to our success. We will continue to include these in our weekly email as we address these issues on campus.

Car Riders

• Please bring your dismissal 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. 
• Arrival - 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 dismissal 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, and wear helmets everyday.

Dismissal

• If you plan to change your child's dismissal, this must occur before 2:30 pm at this link: https://bes.pasco.k12.fl.us/mform/view.php?id=13355
• If you plan to pick up your child early, this must occur before 3:00 pm. 
• Car line dismissal - if your child is delayed getting to the numbered pole during dismissal, we will ask you to pull up to the yellow cone in front of the car lanes, and your child will be escorted to your vehicle. 

Absences

• If your child is absent, please be sure to report this through your parent portal. 
• For step-by-step instructions and helpful resources, please visit: 👉 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,
Vanessa Hilton
Principal
Bexley Elementary School
