The Bulldog Bark

Please note a significant change to this year's OLR process

All registering existing families will be required to upload a current photo ID/driver's license of parent/guardian with their current address as well as 2 proofs of residency.

This is a necessary step in order to ensure the accuracy of our enrollment records and to ensure we have updated addresses for all of our families.

Below you will find a list of acceptable proof of residency:

Current photo ID/driver's license

2 Proofs of residency

• Authentic home builder contract with approved district transfer, lease, closing statement, or other home dwelling document
• Utility bill: current electricity, gas or water bill with current address
• Current employee check stub with current address
• Current vehicle registration that matches the driver's license submitted
• Government agency correspondence with current address
• Voter registration card with current address

Thank you for your assistance as we prepare for the 2026-2027 school year.

Beginning this week, chromebooks have remained at school every day as we begin inventory and preparation for end of year testing. If your child has their charger at home, please have them bring it back this week so we can account for it as well.

Field day is coming! If you are interested in volunteering for field day, we would love to have your help so that we can offer many activities for students that day. All volunteers must have a background check on file. To complete a background check, come in to the office. If you aren't sure if you already have one on file or if a previous check is still valid, you can contact our volunteer coordinator at lisa.white@bullitt.kyschools.us.

With only a few weeks until the end of the school year, we will begin collecting library books in a couple weeks. If your child has a library book checked out, please make sure it makes it back to school. Our librarian, Ms. Barger, will send out missing book notices in a couple weeks for any books that remain out.

Our yearly Penny Brigade to support Crusade for Children begins this coming Monday! The Penny Brigade will run from April 20th -30th. Of course, we will take any type of change, and dollar bills work as well! All proceeds will be given to the Lebanon Junction Fire Department for their Crusade for Children fundraiser.

The class that raises the most will receive a special surprise!

Our school goal is to raise $600. Please help us reach our goal for this great cause.

The LJES Archery Team celebrated their season this week. This team has grown so much this year and many of the archers achieved their own personal best this season. Thank you to Ms. Allison for coaching this year and encouraging students to continue to practice and reach for their goals.

LJ Bulldogs represented! At the district Stem Challenge held last night, students competed to design and construct a product that met the requirements of the challenge. The design had to work conceptually and had to actually accomplish the task given in the task. Students competed as a team and both of our LJES teams placed!

Our K-2nd grade team consisting of second graders Lane Roach, Lexington Bailey, Ryan Montgomery and Hank Utley took first place in the district for the primary level.

Our 3rd-5th grade team consisting of fourth graders Benjamin Barger, Hadley Rausch, Hunter Bray and Tyler Shores placed 3rd in the district for the intermediate level.

Thank you to Mr. Dienno for challenging students to think outside the box all year in the steam lab and for providing opportunities for students to design throughout the school year.

As we plan for events to round out the end of the year, remember that any visitors to our building during the school day must present a driver's license or photo ID at the front doors for entry and front desk to sign in. This includes end of year award ceremonies.

We hate having to turn family away from awards ceremonies and other family events during the school day, but student safety is our first priority.
