Bulldog Family Bulletin

Thank you to all the families that showed up to our Back to School Fair! Despite the gloomy weather, scholars and families were able to meet some of our community partners, enjoy food and music. If you were unable to join please check Dean'sList for the presentation on important school policies. We hope to see you all at the next event!

DeansList allows us to share more information with you about your scholar's progress in school. Many of you have asked about weekly progress reports based on family feedback. The DeansList system allows you, as the parent/guardian, to view your scholar's attendance, grades, and weekly behavior. For students, it provides opportunities to reflect on their behavior and academic progress and make purchases from the school store with their points. At Open House, we shared login links for families to join. Please reach out to your scholar's teacher if you need the link. Check out the video below to help navigate the new platform.

Dismissal begins at 3:15pm for Middle School scholars Monday-Thursday and 12:45pm on Fridays.

Dismissal begins at 3:30pm for Elementary School scholars Monday-Thursday and 1:00pm on Fridays.

During pickup, families are expected to pull into the far left lane closest to school on East Capitol. DO NOT sit or park in the middle lane to avoid traffic jams. If you are blocking or parked in this lane, you may receive a ticket as this is a main street. Scholar pick up information is below:

• PreS-5th graders are dismissed using a individual code through an app called PikMyKid. Dismissal locations are below:
• PS-2 scholars are released in the back of the school near staff parking lot & playground
• 3rd-5th grade scholars are released through the same doors as arrival
• 6th-8th grade scholars are self-dismissed through the same doors as arrival

*Early dismissal ends at 3:00pm on Monday-Thursday and 12:30pm on Fridays. If you arrive after this time period you will be asked to wait until the normal dismissal window*

There is still room in our Friday Scholars program. This program is for families who need care until 3:30pm on our early release days. For more information in flyer below!!!
