We are excited to invite you to our upcoming Bulldog Basics Parent Night, where we will discuss valuable insights and strategies for enhancing your child's success in school. This exclusive event is designed specifically for parents, like you, who play a crucial role in your child's education.

Why should you attend?

1. Insider Tips for School Success: Our experienced educators will share practical tips and strategies for their grade level that can make a significant difference in your child's academic journey.
2. Understanding School Policies and Resources: Learn about important school policies, resources available to support your child's learning, and how you can effectively navigate the educational system.
3. Building a Strong Partnership: Meet other parents, collaborate with teachers, and strengthen the partnership between home and school to create a supportive environment for your child.
4. Q&A Session: Get answers to your questions directly from school staff and educators.

Please note that this event is for parents only, ensuring a focused and productive discussion on topics directly relevant to you. Your presence and participation are highly valued, as they contribute to the overall success and well-being of our students.

We look forward to welcoming you and discussing how, together, we can maximize your child's potential. Thank you for your continued support and commitment to your child's education.

This year our theme is Safari to Success, and we have a cute shirt for our students to purchase. These will also be the shirts students should wear on their field trip later this year.

Below are the dates for our ALL OUT House Days where students may wear their House colors from head to toe...tutus, glasses, hats, headbands, wigs, painted hair...etc!

On all other Fridays, students should simply wear their House t-shirt.

Our district utilizes Canvas as a communication tool between school and home. Use this link to access the directions.

We have a standardized dress code at Adolphus that includes shorts. Any shorts worn by boys or girls must be mid-thigh length or longer. Some parents have expressed that it is hard to find shorts for girls, in particular, that come to at least mid-thigh. Below is an image and an attachment that has some options that appear to be appropriate for our standardized dress code. If you choose to order any of these, please verify they are truly at the acceptable length. This was created in effort to assist parents with buying options. I hope it helps!

During the 2024-2025, we will be utilizing the SchoolCash app more frequently! We invite you to sign up now to make sure you are ready for the new year!

Please see the important attendance information below.

Please review these car rider procedures to make sure you are "in the know".

Each year we collect hundreds of jackets or sweaters in our lost and found, please label your child's before they come to school. We don't want your hard earned money to end up in the lost and found.

All parents will choose one mode of dismissal transportation for their child on a daily basis. We strongly encourage all parents to refrain from calling the front office for transportation changes this year unless it is an absolute need. Students do best when they have one consistent routine when going home, so we want to minimize changes as much as possible.

Though we have a solid system for managing the changes, there is a greater opportunity for mistakes because it is a change of routine. The last thing we want is confusion with your child getting home. Safety is our top concern. :-)

Instruction begins at 7:15, so our goal is to have all children in school by 7:05 AM. This allows time for them to unpack and get prepared for their day. This will help set them up for success.

The students need to be through the front doors by 7:15 in order to not be counted tardy. If you arrive at 7:15 or after, your child will need to enter the main doors of the school to go through the front office to get their tardy slip. That is never a fun way to start their day, so please help get them to school ready for learning by 7:05 AM. :-)

All students in their seats will receive a Dojo point as an incentive to arrive at this time.

The use of cell phones within school zones is prohibited (unless used with a hands-free device) under Section 545.425 of the Texas Transportation Code.

In the past few months, Mrs. Boarman has seen several parents texting and talking on the phone (not hands free) while in the school zone. This is against the law, and you may receive a ticket for this offense. Please partner with us to keep YOUR kids safe!

For the most current PTO news, please visit their website! Below is the incoming Board for the 2024-2025 school year!

When you see them, please thank them for their hard work and dedication to our kids.
