Elementary Bulldog Families,
It was a great week. Collectively we held to our bulldog standards for behavior this week and I am very proud of our students! Even today with indoor recess and the coming winter storm our students worked hard and treated each other with kindness. Starting next week Mrs. Amy Oaks will be filling in for Mrs. Malia Mount in the office. Don’t worry Mrs. Malia will be back a little closer to spring break. Mrs. Oaks has been subbing for us this year and has spent a few days training with Mrs. Malia. Please be patient when checking in at the office door bell. Mrs. Oaks may ask more questions about who you are and may even ask to see identification if she doesn’t recognize you and I’m not close by at the time. Who knows what the weekend holds but I pray that all of our students and staff are safe and warm through the storm!
See you soon,
Mrs. Bauer

Very cold temperatures are expected for tomorrow morning, Friday, January 23rd. Please make sure your students dress appropriately and keep them indoors until you see the bus approaching its stop. Since temperatures will be very cold, please be patient as buses may be running later than normal. As a reminder, you can watch the approximate ETA to your stop on the FirstView bus app.
Stay warm and layer up, Bulldogs!

Elementary Bulldog Families,
We’ve noticed this week that several students do not have appropriate outerwear with them on a daily basis. Students often report forgetting to bring their coat. This is a friendly reminder that per our elementary handbook we go outside for a 10-15 minute recess if the temperature is between 20 & 30 degrees. It’s so important that we are able to get students outside for a little while if at all possible. It makes all the difference in their stamina for learning time! Also, we saw a significant increase in off task and disruptive behaviors this week both in the classrooms, hallways and in special class time. We would appreciate it if all of our families visit in regards to your own expectations for your child’s behavior at school. We value your partnership as, together, we help students be the best humans they can be and provide a calm productive learning environment for all students.

January 21: Board of Education Meeting 7:00 p.m.
