BULLDOG BULLETIN

Dear Bulldog Families,

I hope this message finds you well as we wrap up an exciting week at school! This morning, our school musical cast treated the entire student body to a fantastic performance—and they were incredible! Our students showed tremendous bravery getting up on stage in front of all their peers, and they truly shined. Their hard work, talent, and enthusiasm were on full display, and I could not be prouder of them. I cannot wait to see them on stage again this weekend!

A very special thank-you goes out to our dedicated parent volunteers. The many hours you’ve poured into supporting the musical have made all the difference. This production would not be nearly as successful without your energy, creativity, and commitment. We are so grateful for you.

Did you know, that we can have up to 12 cars unload at one time during arrivals? We can also have the same number in the afternoon, but we need your help!

Important Safety Guidelines:

Drivers must remain in their cars.

If your child needs help getting in or out of the vehicle, please park in a designated parking space and assist them from there. Parking is available in the back lot, and families are welcome to walk around to the front.

Students must exit curbside only.

This is essential for student safety as traffic continues to move through the driveway.

Unload anywhere within the white lines.

Please do not pull all the way up to the doors. Students should exit at any point along the designated unloading zone so we can keep the line moving efficiently. Staff members are outside to help direct students as they exit/enter cars. Please follow their directions.

Share this information with all caregivers.

If someone else picks up or drops off your child, make sure they are aware of these expectations so we can maintain a safe and orderly process for everyone.

Thank you for your continued support, cooperation, and partnership. Together, we can ensure a safe school environment for all while celebrating the many wonderful things happening in our community.

With gratitude,

Dr. Colleen Conway

Annually, District 95 takes time to recognize its exceptional staff members. The Teachers Make a Difference Award is designed to recognize those teachers who have represented our mission and gone far beyond normal expectations in supporting or motivating a student or group of students. We hope each family will consider this opportunity to complete a nomination and share their own appreciation for our educators!

All nominations are due by midnight on January 9, 2026.

From the many nominations we anticipate receiving, a selection committee of district administrators will select three of our outstanding educators to be honored in front of their peers during our annual staff awards program.
