Week of August 3rd

• Our MISSION is to create a legacy of excellence with the support of our families and community.. Our students are encouraged to embody these pillars - Achievement, Determination, Integrity, Leadership, Respect, and Responsibility, in all they do!
• Our VISION is to empower ALL BULLDOGS to become productive and compassionate members of society.
• Our theme for the 2026 - 2027 school year is KCCO! Once the school year begins, ask your child(ren) what the acronym means.

Car Loop Reminder:

As a friendly reminder, when entering the car loop, please follow the established traffic pattern for the entire loop. Upon entering, continue to the right and follow the loop all the way down, around, and back up as you wait for your student to be released.

For the safety of our students, staff, and families, please do not attempt to bypass the line or drive against the flow of traffic. We have had a few close calls recently due to drivers trying to avoid the pickup line.

Important Reminder About Perfumes and Body Sprays

Students may bring personal hygiene products to school; however, perfume, cologne, body spray, and other spray products should not be used in classrooms, hallways, buses, or other indoor areas. These products can cause allergic reactions, trigger asthma, and make it difficult for some students and staff to breathe comfortably. This is a very important health and safety concern. This week alone, two students experienced allergic reactions, and one situation was serious enough that paramedics responded to our campus. To help keep everyone safe and healthy, please make sure that all perfumes, colognes, body sprays, and similar products remain in backpacks and are not sprayed at school.

Cellphones:

Grades Pre-K through 8 – Students who bring WCDs to school must ensure that they remain on silent mode and completely out of view for the entire school day. These expectations also apply to extracurricular and co-curricular activities that occur before or after the school day

(pg. 37 in the 26-27 Student Code of Conduct).

We appreciate your cooperation in helping us maintain a safe and healthy learning environment for everyone.

*While this is PM1, please speak with your child about giving it their best. The test will remember the individual student and how they scored. This means students who try their best and score well will likely continue on that positive trajectory for PM2 and PM3. Students who blow the test off thinking it doesn't count will have a more difficult time when PM2 and PM3 happens, as they will be starting from where they left off and having to work harder in order to meet the proficiency mark. Every time we test, it is important for students to give it their best effort and attention!!

Parents please speak with your student(s) about using kind words toward one another in person and via social media/text. A popular music artist, Drake, tells teens to hear people out instead of immediately arguing, be mindful of your words so you don't hurt others, and be authentic in your relationships. Remember students, RESPECT is a pillar in our BULLDOG Legacy of Excellence! Let's put respect into practice!!
