Bulldog Blast

Bulldog Families,

I hope each of you had a great weekend and were able to enjoy the downtown festival this past Saturday. It was full of fun, food, music, and shopping!

There is no school this Friday, 2/14/25, and no school on Monday, 2/17/25. Our front office hours this week will be Monday - Thursday 6:30am - 4:30pm. I hope you enjoy the upcoming long weekend!

While I understand that us closing off the bus loop in the morning has caused some frustration, this had to be done for safety purposes. Buses were unable to drop students off safely as the influx of cars prevented them from pulling close to the curb. Therefore, the bus loop is closed off until 7:15am each morning. You may drop your student in the gym parking lot until 7:06am and then in the student parking lot near the tennis courts after that. Do not stop in the middle of the road on 12th street as this causes unnecessary traffic congestion.

Every student who arrives after 7:06am is required to get a pass from the front office. Please drop your student early or be patient with the front office staff as they adhere to this safety requirement.

Always remember that Bulldogs Bark!

Bulldogs are:

B - Brave (brave enough to always do what is right, not necessarily easy)

A - Academically Engaged (focused on learning and making progress)

R - Responsible (taking accountability and making good choices)

K - Kind (just be nice!)

Proud Principal,

Amanda McCoy, Ed.S.
