🐾 Don’t let the tardy bug bite, Bulldogs! ⏰

“Where’s my shoe?” 👟
“I need one more bite!” 🧇
“My backpack was RIGHT HERE!” 🎒

We know mornings can be a little wild! But classes begin at 8:00 a.m., and those first minutes matter. Arriving late means missing:

🐾 A chance to greet classmates and settle in
🐾 Morning directions and routines
🐾 Instruction that’s already underway

Coming in after everyone has started can also leave a child feeling rushed or playing catch-up.

Try putting backpacks by the door, picking out clothes the night before, teaching older students how to use an alarm, and giving those sneaky shoes a designated spot! 😉

Let’s help our Bulldogs arrive before 8:00, ready to BARK: Be Responsible, Act Safely, Respect Others, and Keep Learning! ❤️

Thank you, families, for helping every school day start strong!
