Weekly Bulldog Bits

Attention parents/guardians!!! Students need to wait to get out of cars at the loading area or wait until a staff member gets them out of the car at drop off. The loading/unloading area is clearly marked with signs and we need to work together to get everyone to school safely. Please remember the Valet Loop is only for students in grades 1-5; TK/Kindergarten must be walked to the gate/Adults are unable to use the Loop to enter/exit cars.

Also, parents/guardians are not allowed past the school gate. If your child needs a forgotten item please bring it to the front office. All volunteers must check in first before coming onto campus. Thank you for your cooperation in helping to maintain a safe campus.

Looking for the perfect gift for your child's teacher, Specialist, Librarian, or the school? Starting Tuesday, December 10th, stop by the front of the office to take an "ornament" with your person's wishes. Attach the "ornament" to your item and you have the perfect gift! Feel free to take a picture and leave ornaments for others to use, especially if it's an item that the person would benefit from multiple donations! We thank you for your generosity!
