Principal's Message
BELONG ~ BELIEVE ~ ACHIEVE
Hello Wildcat Students, Staff, and Families!
This week we hosted our first Career Day! Thank you, parents and community for sharing your knowledge and joining us for an exciting day! Pictures to come!
This week our Wildcats start the basketball and soccor seasons! Good luck team!
We also have our Art Show submissions due by March 15 and the show will be on 5/1.
Parents, We have an opportunity to join us for our COMMUNITY FORUMS! We need your ideas! We will use your input to set new Goals and Action Steps for our new three-year 2024-2027 LCAP. On March 11 during the school day and on March 14 in the evening SMS and BHS will be holding a combined LCAP forum for parents to provide feedback on BUSD'S planning and programs for the upcoming years. A separate flyer will be distributed later this week with the times and locations. Please plan to attend, as we look forward to your input.
Sullivan parents are vital partners in our school community. We have many opportunities for our parents to be involved at SMS and help provide feedback to inform our programs. Be sure to watch announcements for the School Site Council, English Language Advisory committee, the Native Learner Advisory Committee, and our PTO meetings.
We are Wildcats! Have a great week!

Important information from the California Department of Education.
BUSD Families,
The California Department of Education passed legislation this past July that all school districts must remind parents and legal guardians of all students in the Bonsall Unified School District of their responsibilities for keeping firearms out of the hands of children as required by California law. Please take a moment to review the memo below.
California Law Regarding Safe Storage of Firearms Memorandum 2023-2024
Ley de California Sobre el Almacenamiento Seguro de Armas de Fuego 2023-2024
SECURED CAMPUS AND ENTRANCE INFORMATION
ATTENTION PARENTS!
We are excited to announce that we extended our safety and security for all staff and students by installing a fence around the front of our school! Visitors will be required to bring ID and check in at the Welcome Booth before anyone is permitted on campus.
Only emergency vehicles, buses, those with handicap placards, and those with other special placards have access to the upper lot, emergency lane closest to the front of our schools. You will need to show your placard to Campus Security.
This decision to enforce our existing parking lot plan aligns with the recommendations of our community safety partners and will increase our ability to maintain a safe and secure site:
- When dropping students off, please use the lower levels of the parking lot.
- When visiting either the middle or the high school office, please park in the lower levels, bring your ID to the Welcome booth, and check in with the appropriate staff.
We appreciate your partnership and support in our efforts to provide the highest levels of safety for our students
