A Message from Ms. Gilcher
It's hard to believe that we are already one week into the school year. I want to extend a huge Bulldog Welcome to all of our new families and a Welcome Back to our returning families. There have been some big changes taking place to ensure that our students are always top priority. Here are a few things for families to notice:
- New process for arrival and dismissal
- Family academies and Pastries with the Principal (Stay tuned for more information)
- All visitors to the campus must enter through the front door and present identification
- Used Uniform Sale (See below for more information)
I have made it my goal as your principal to keep communication open and transparent. I welcome your feedback, whether it's kudos for our teachers or a concern. Please use the form below if you have comments to share. All information will help us improve.
Finally, a heartfelt congratulations to all of our Bulldog Family members! Our school grade is now a C- this is an improvement over the previous year's school grades. Every student, staff member, and family member helped make this improvement happen. We KNOW how incredible all of our Bulldogs are, and we love having the chance to brag about it. Kudos to everyone!
Until next week, in the words of Kid President, "Throw kindness around like confetti."
With Bulldog Pride,
Ms. Gilcher
