Bulldog Families,

Homecoming week was fantastic! I hope all of the students enjoyed the spirit days, class competitions, pep-rally, game and dance. The students made this past week so much fun to experience!

As we approach the end of the first quarter please keep encouraging your student(s) to check their grades, attend school and make up any missing assignments. Students that accrue multiple tardies to school and class will have to serve lunch detentions and if it continues to be a problem will lose the ability to come to after school events and the privilege of a parking permit.

Please feel free to reach out to teachers, guidance counselors and administration anytime we can assist you or answer a question.

Matt Spiker
