Bulldog Nation Insider- 01/13/25

Happy New Year Bulldog Nation Families,

We had a great visit from Dr. Trujillo last Wednesday, as well as our TUSD Media Department, who got some great footage for our new and improved website (coming soon). Our Student Council did a great job of our Bulldog Belief Assemblies, and we are looking forward to Awards Night this Thursday for our students who earned Principal's List, Honor Roll & Golden Ticket. Morning Activities on the Platt is on hold again this week due to the colder weather. Please make sure your child has a Navy or White Hoodie for school each day.

Check out the Link below to recognize our Amazing Teachers and Staff for going above and beyond!

Yours in the service of education,

Luke van Schie, Principal
