Our Valentine's celebrations will take place on Monday, February 14th from 1:15-2:15pm. Only non-food items may be shared. We will host an alternate activity for any students who choose not to celebrate. Thank you to our wonderful PTA volunteers assisting our classrooms with the festivities.


The end of Trimester 2 is Friday, February 25th. Please take a few moments to log-in parent portal and encourage your child to attend to any missing work or needed retests in the weeks ahead. Report cards will be posted on Friday, March 4th.


We are so proud of our Bulldogs for their hard work during e-learning days. Day 5 and Day 6 packets will be sent home soon in the event we have any future e-learning days. Please take a moment to review our e-learning procedures.

  • Place the packet it a safe place to only be worked on during an e-learning day. If you do not receive or need an additional copy, please reach out to your child's teacher.
  • Students must complete and turn in the assigned work the next school day in order to be counted present.
  • Once the district has determined an e-learning day, staff will communicate with their families from 8:30-9:00am the schedule of the day and how to contact them for assistance with completing work, including their Zoom link. They will also attach to the communication an electronic copy of the packet.
  • Students are to log-in to Zoom at 9am and are scheduled to be working on their assignments from 9:00-11:30am and from 12:15-3:15pm. Teachers are available by Zoom and email to provide assistance from 9:00-11:30am and 12:15-2:15pm.


Be on the lookout next week for a special edition Bulldog Bulletin with important reminders regarding our arrival and dismissal procedures.
