Principal's Newsletter
November 2019
Note from the Principal's Desk
October definitely flew by. There were tons of events in the month of October. Halloween was a very fun day and I loved all the costumes! A huge thank you to all the parents who helped the students choose school appropriate costumes. This is definitely one of the highlights of the year. We also had a ton of fun at the Bald for Bulldogs events. A huge shout out to Mr. Hauge and Mrs. Walker for embodying true Bulldog spirit. They always say "Anything for the kids!"
As we move into November I wanted to share how thankful I am for our community. From the supportive parents to the hardworking staff to your kind and compassionate students. It's a great time to be a Bulldog!
Another group of people who sometimes get overlooked is our district office staff. From a site perspective, we are very fortunate to have such a supportive group of people. Their support in the area of facilities, curriculum, data development and overall moral is phenomenal. I can honestly say I have never felt so supported by a group of people.
Our school is booming with thankfulness!
Sincerely,
Kelly Eagan

Attendance Data this year
The truancy rate takes a little longer to calculate and will be shared later this year. To help us meet our school-wide goal of reducing all types of absenteeism, please remember to call into the office to excuse all absences and avoid scheduling trips during school days. Also, the majority of our tardies happen on Wednesday, so leaving just a few minutes early could dramatically help our tardy rate.
