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.

Will your grade 4/5 student be trying out for basketball team this year? Tryouts will be taking place this November. Please try to schedule your student's physical as quickly as possible and outside of school hours. As a reminder, a student is unable to try out without having a completed physical with the documentation. There are no exceptions to the timeline as this is a district policy.

Due to scheduling challenges with Horner, we will be unable to hold the basketball clinic. An announcement will be made soon at school so our interested Grade 4 & 5 students can pick up a paper packet.
