Wildcat Weekly

Hello Wildcat Families and Students!

As we head into another exciting week at Sullivan Middle School, I am proud to share all the great things happening on our campus. Our student-athletes are showing tremendous effort and Wildcat pride as our girls soccer and boys basketball teams compete and grow together through teamwork, discipline, and sportsmanship. It has been wonderful to see the energy and support from students and families at our games.

This Friday, we are excited to welcome members of the Superintendent’s Student Council, giving our students an opportunity to share their voices, ideas, and perspectives on leadership and school community. We are also looking forward to our Wildcat Luncheon on Wednesday, a special time to celebrate students and strengthen connections across our school.

Thank you for your continued partnership and support. SMS is a special place because of our students, staff, and families and I am grateful to be part of such a strong Wildcat community!

This year, BUSD will be focusing on professional development in Artificial Intelligence in Education and helping our students strengthen their digital citizenship skills. Technology is shaping the way we live, learn, and connect, and it’s essential that we work together—schools and families—to guide our students in navigating it safely and responsibly.

The San Diego County Office of Education is offering a free, virtual Ed Tech Parent Series open to all parents and educators. Topics include AI and deepfakes, avoiding online scams, student data privacy, gaming and technology addiction, and more. Each session includes Spanish subtitles. We encourage you to join these engaging sessions to become confident digital partners in your child’s learning journey.

We appreciate your support in helping us maintain a safe and orderly dismissal process. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact our office.

With gratitude,

School starts every day at 8:00 am and students can be dropped off as early as 7:30 am. Please make sure to drop your student off in the lower parking lot because the upper parking lot will be closed to allow our students to walk across the walkway safely.

Your student will receive his/ her class schedule on the first day of school. All of the 6th grade and half of the 7th grade will have first lunch and follow Bell Schedule A.

All of 8th grade and half of 7th grade will have second lunch and follow Bell Schedule B.

ATTENTION PARENTS!

Only emergency vehicles, buses, those with handicap placards, and those with other special placards have access to the upper lot, emergency lane closest to the front of our schools. You will need to show your placard to Campus Security.

We ask that If you have a parking pass because your student received the ROAR Award for that month you may continue to have access to the upper lot at the end of the school day. Please do not park in the bus lanes or block the handicap spaces.

This decision to enforce our existing parking lot plan aligns with the recommendations of our community safety partners and will increase our ability to maintain a safe and secure site:

• When dropping students off, please use the lower levels of the parking lot.
• When visiting either the middle or the high school office, please park in the lower levels, bring your ID to the front, and check in with the appropriate staff.

Gates accessing the upper lane will continue to be closed to secure the campus. We appreciate your partnership and support in our efforts to provide the highest levels of safety for our students

Exciting news!: Students will be able to eat for free during the 25-26 school year!
