Our 5th graders have been working hard in Dancing Classrooms, and their progress has been amazing! From the upbeat Merengue to the Foxtrot and the Rumba, they’re mastering each dance with confidence and enthusiasm. The joy and teamwork they bring to the floor is inspiring to see.

We can’t wait to welcome you for the Culminating Event on Wednesday, November 19th at 9:30am, where our students will shine as they share the dances they’ve learned. It’s going to be a memorable celebration of their growth, talent, and hard work!

Water Only Request

Just a friendly reminder—please don’t send sugary drinks to school with your student. We ask that only water be brought into classrooms. Water helps keep students hydrated, energized, and ready to learn throughout the day. Thanks for helping us create a healthy and focused learning environment!

Cell Phone/Smart Watch Policy

Elementary schools will continue to enforce this policy as stated here in the elementary student handbook: All cell phones, iPods, cameras, and other electronic devices must be turned off and out of sight during the school day, unless under the supervision of a staff member. If a student wears a watch phone, it should not be used for communication, recording, or games. After the second misuse, watch phones will need to be turned off and put in the backpack during the school day. As always, we understand that our students have individualized needs, and we will provide accommodations as necessary or required on an individual basis.

Our fall fundraiser is off to an incredible start — thanks to your support, we’ve already raised over $28,000 for our students! We’re so grateful for the enthusiasm this community continues to show. We have a final goal of $35,000 and we will have a BULLZ Prize Party for the whole school -- every student will receive a BULLZ keychain.

Mark your calendars for our next PTO meeting on October 9th — we’d love to see you there and hear your ideas. Also, don’t miss Art Night coming up soon, 10/21, a fun evening for the whole family to get creative together.

If you haven’t yet, this is a great time to purchase your yearbook, renew your PTO membership and check out the latest spiritwear to show off your school pride. You can find everything on our website!
