language, or disability, can succeed.
Tonight is our Open House from 6:00-7:30PM! We encourage you all to come in, see your student’s classrooms and meet the teachers. This is a fun, relaxed evening, and we encourage you to visit the school.
School conferences will be held in November for those parents/guardians who want to meet one-on-one with the teacher. More information about conferences will be coming in October.

Read MoreDear Bulldog Families,
We are just under a week away from kicking off remote learning for the 2020-2021 school year. Whether you picked the in-person/remote learning or MODEL program, we want you to know we are here for your students. Administration, teachers, and staff are working hard to provide the best learning opportunities for our students. With that being said, here are a few things families need to know:
Virtual Open House: Open house is on Monday, August 31st, 6-7PM. Teachers will be inviting parents/guardians and students to an informational Zoom meeting where they will discuss classroom expectations and course details for the quarter. Each Zoom will be about 15 minutes in length. Be watching your Skyward Family access for invites to each teacher’s Zoom.
Wednesday, September 2, 2020, is the first day of school! This is a Wednesday, so following the remote learning plan, it will be a shortened class schedule. Click here to view the Remote Learning Schedule.
Attendance & Grading: Attendance will be taken daily. Parents, if your child has a doctor’s appointment, is sick, or will not be available to participate in the daily lesson, please go into Skyward and enter his/her absence. Grades will also be entered into Skyward on a regular basis, so please make it a routine to check on your child’s progress regularly.
Remote Learning Expectations: Click here to view our Remote Learning Expectations for students, teachers and parents. Please review the expectations with your student as this will be important to their success. We are all in this together, and together we will be successful!
M.O.D.E.L: If your student is doing all online, he/she will be receiving an email with his/her login information and classes scheduled. Counselors are currently working on these schedules, making sure students are enrolled in courses that meet graduation requirements. Parents will also receive more specific information from the on-site coordinator in the weeks to come.
Google Classroom/Zoom: Students who selected the in-person/remote learning will be receiving Google Classroom codes via email in the days to come. Once they are in Google Classroom, they will be given a link for Zoom meetings. Zooms will start at the beginning of each period and may last the whole class period, may be broken up into chunks of time, or may have different checkpoints with the teacher such as beginning and end, depending on subject matter and the lesson for the day.
Textbook/Material Pick Up: If your student is in the in-person/remote learning option and did not pick up materials for their first three classes last week, you need to come to the school either Monday (8/31) or Tuesday (9/1) between 8:00AM-12:00PM to collect your textbooks. Remember - MASKS ARE REQUIRED.
We are excited for this new school year. It’s going to have its challenges, but as Bulldogs, we know we will succeed when we work together.
Sincerely,
Alec & Anne
