πŸ’œπŸΎ Bulldog Family Weekly Update

🐾 Dear Bulldog Families,

We’re kicking off the week with a PAWSitive Startβ€”students will be building a strong Bulldog community! Together, they will lead and recite the Pledge of Allegiance, the Texas Pledge, and the Bulldog Mindset.

On Wednesdays, we’ll share teacher PAWSitive shout-outs, and on Fridays, we’ll celebrate PAWSitive rewards. Our campus expectations will continue to focus on PAWS: Pride, Accountable, Wise, and Safe.

πŸ“… Reminder: Monday, October 27th is an A Day.

Please remind students to:
πŸ’» Bring chromebooks charged daily
πŸ†” Wear their IDs to ensure school safety

Let’s make it a great week, Bulldogs! πŸΎπŸ’œ
