My Dear Parents and Guardians!
We’ve been in school for just 14 school days and its already getting busy so here are some great reminders…
We have a delay start this Thursday September 17 th . To help with traffic congestion at drop off our Pre-K students enter at 11 and K-2 enters at 11:15 with the day starting at 11:30. Students will have lunch after they arrive to school for the afternoon. Although the Alfond Center is offering childcare for a certain amount of students this must be arranged with them in advance for the delay start days. If you have not done that in advance of Thursday students cannot arrive before the school day begins.
We are posting a school spirit week menu of fun spirit dress days that coincides with the High School Homecoming week. On Home coming (Oct 2) as well as all the delay start days this year, we are going to wear bulldog colors to celebrate being part of the bulldog family!
