Greetings Dragon Families!

It was a very exciting week at The Bridge! Students have enjoyed seeing our Watch D.O.G.S. in action as they help around the school and stop to visit and play at recess. We also kicked off our Booster fundraiser with a Pep Rally on Thursday, and Huddles began today, Friday. Students are having fun engaging with Booster staff and participating in character-building lessons during their Huddles. We look forward to welcoming our parents to school on Friday, September 19th for the Dragon Dash Fun Run!

This week, our Dragons were asked to check the lost and found for missing items. All items are now outside the main doors and will remain there all of next week for families to check.

If you're attending the Dragon Dash Fun Run on September 19th, please take a moment to look for missing items before or after your child's Fun Run.

Remember to label your children's jackets, lunch boxes, water bottles, and other belongings with their names!

Any remaining items will be packed up and donated to local students in need during the week of September 22nd.

Please note that Friday September 26, 2025 is a 2-hour early release day and we will dismiss students at 12 pm. Students will eat lunch at school. If you have changes for Friday, please complete this form by Thursday September 25, 2025.

Volunteers: Classrooms will have several opportunities throughout the year to welcome families to see all the wonderful learning occurring. To minimize classroom disruptions, volunteers assisting teachers with tasks like copying and laminating will continue to pick up materials in the office rather than going directly to classrooms.

Thank you for your interest in helping our Classroom Teachers--your help is invaluable to them! Please see the sign-up genius link to volunteer in our school!

This year we will begin using a Google Form for daily transportation changes. This form will take the place of an email (our prior method). In the event that your child/ren will not go home their normal way, please complete the Google Form below to let us know of the transportation change. This form needs to be completed before 1:00 pm on the day of the change.

Need a Magnet with our Vision?

To help families engage in common language with our students using the DBES Vision, we have created magnets for families to put on their refrigerators. This magnet can serve as a reminder to our students on how to be on FIRE! If you need a magnet, feel free to stop by our front office anytime to pick one up.
