Bulldog Blast

Bulldog Families,

I hope your weekend was full of everything you love. I want to take a moment to thank every staff member, community member, and parent who have signed up to volunteer. It truly takes a village and I am so grateful for our village. If you were unable to attend the volunteer event or apply online, please do so here: https://www.pasco.k12.fl.us/hreq/page/volunteer. If you need financial assistance for the fingerprinting, please see Judy Williams and we will take care of it for you. Our students need as many positive role models as possible and there are multiple ways/times to support our school.

Please note, the gym parking lot gate is only open and staffed until the tardy bell at 7:06am. After that, please use the student parking lot near the tennis courts to drop off your student as they will need to report to the front office for a pass. You may use the bus loop after 7:15am.

We have been doing daily reminders for students to never open the gates for anyone, even if they know the person. Doing so is a violation of safety rules and will result in disciplinary action. Please speak with your student regarding this crucial safety expectation.

You may have heard your student talk about new colored zones for restrooms. We have created new passes of a specific color based on the location of the classroom (thank you Mrs. Craft for your wonderful map!). We have placed staff members in color zones to monitor throughout every minute of every day and students are expected to use the restroom indicated on their pass to ensure safety. Classrooms will only let one student out at a time to reduce the number of students in the hallway during classes. Thank you in advance for reiterating this expectation at home.

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.
