Greetings, Bulldog Families!  Please see important information and dates below.

The crosswalks have been repainted for sharper visibility.  Please use them accordingly.  Our MP’s would like to remind you to be mindful of safety when walking to and from school with your children.  They have seen children getting ahead of their parents and stepping into the street. 

Kickoff to Character Counts starts next week! Teachers will introduce each of the six pillars during your child’s morning meeting. Throughout the school year, the counselors will visit the classrooms to elaborate on each pillar of character while engaging in discussion questions.
