Bulldog Family Bulletin

Dear families,

We want to hear from you! If you have not already done so, please take 15 minutes today to participate in the family survey that will help our school improve our communication, academic programming, and overall experience for you and your child.

You are the most important people in your child’s life, and we want to ensure you have the opportunity to shape their school experience. Survey link closes December 11th.

As a reminder, survey responses are anonymous and will only be used to inform future family engagement strategies. If you have any questions about the survey, please contact us at insert school coordinator name & email. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We value your input and look forward to working with you more closely in the future to ensure a great learning experience for your child.

Warmly,

DC Scholars FELT

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*

Follow Me to Class Fridays is an opportunity for families to walk their scholar to class during morning arrival. This occurs during 8am-8:25a ONLY so that scholars will continue on with their normal schedule. Be on the lookout for a post on Dean's List with dates and time!! You just never know......
