Happy Sunday, Bullpup Families! What a wonderful week at PTH! 💚

🍩 Dads on Duty: We had a great turnout for our first Dads on Duty meeting! It was exciting to see so many dads and male mentors eager to volunteer and be a positive presence at PTH. If you missed the meeting but would like to help with car line, recess, special projects, and more, please Dojo your child’s teacher to be added to our list. Mr. Williams, our Lead Dads on Duty Dad, will be in contact!

💜 Purple Star: We also had a wonderful first Purple Star meeting with our military-connected students. This gives our Bullpups a special community of peers who understand the unique experiences of military families while helping new military students feel welcomed and connected at PTH.

💰 Fundraiser Reminder: Our fundraiser ended Friday! If you forgot to send in your packet, please send it tomorrow. Online sales will remain open through the end of the day tomorrow.

🎉 PBIS Celebration: It’s the week before Fall Break! On Friday, we’ll wrap up the first nine weeks by celebrating students who have demonstrated positive behavior choices. A huge thank you to our PTO for sponsoring this celebration!

It’s a lighter week with no major events, just a great opportunity to finish the nine weeks strong and head into a well-deserved. Thank you for another great week of learning!

Highlights from the Parent Handbook:

Be On Time: Doors open at 7:05 AM. Instruction begins promptly at 7:30 AM. Every minute matters!
Attendance Wins Championships: Every day counts! If your child is absent, send an excuse note upon their return to school in their folder or via email to their teacher.
Car Tags = Safe Dismissal: Display your car rider tag every afternoon. It helps us keep dismissal safe and moving quickly.
Transportation Changes: Send transportation changes in writing through your child's folder (No transportation changes through ClassDojo.). For emergency changes contact the front office or email Emily.Cameron@kcsdschools.net
Read 20 Minutes Every Night: Twenty minutes of reading each evening builds lifelong readers and leaders.
Stay Connected: Check ClassDojo and your child's folder daily so you never miss important information.
Fuel for Success: Breakfast and lunch are FREE for every Bullpup! Start the day ready to learn.
Plan Ahead: Early dismissals end at 2:00 PM so we can prepare for a safe dismissal for every student.
Respect Instructional Time: Teachers are teaching throughout the day and cannot accept phone calls during instruction. Please allow up to 24 hours for email/ClassDojo responses, or schedule a conference if you'd like to meet.
We're One Team: Questions? Start with your child's teacher, and don't hesitate to contact the front office. We're here to help!
