Hello Bulldog Families! 
We are starting the sixth week of this school year already! Teachers will be sharing recent test scores this week, and Progress Reports will be available in your Parent Portal on Friday. It is important to start a habit now of reviewing your child’s progress and connecting with their teacher if you have any concerns.

This week, we will also host our Bexley Curriculum Night on Tuesday, September 16, at 5:30 pm. The welcome session will begin in the cafeteria at 5:30 pm, and you will have the opportunity to learn about what your child is learning in English Language Arts, Mathematics and Science. Each session will showcase our curriculum and provide an opportunity for you to ask questions and connect with our educators. Please RSVP at this link to hold your spot: https://forms.office.com/r/ySMgh4yDbR. Our Bexley PTO will also be available to share details about our Fall Fundraiser! You are welcome to bring your children to join you as you attend the sessions.

Bexley is participating in a Blood Drive on Thursday, September 18, with the Blood Drive bus on campus starting at 10:30 am. Help us meet our goal! To sign up, click the link in the attached flyer.

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.

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.

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.

Absences

• If your child is absent, please be sure to report this through your parent portal.

School Meals

• Please remember that school meals are no longer automatically free for our students. For more information, please visit this link: https://connectplus.pasco.k12.fl.us/do/fns/
• Be sure to check your child’s account for outstanding balance. The cafeteria must issue an alternative meal for student who have a balance owed. 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 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!
