FALL BREAK is October 5th through October 14th for students. We hope students are able to enjoy their time off and will be ready to work hard upon their return! We are already to the end of the first quarter, the year is flying by! The second annual Title 1 Community Contributor Carnival will be 10/24/24 from 6:00 pm -7:30 pm. We hope to see you there. Check out the flyer created by Riley and Macey.
SCHOOL SAFETY
We are having an assembly to inform students on the dangers of VAPING on Tuesday, October 15th. We have seen an increase in this activity over the last couple of years and we are concerned for our students' health and wellbeing. The age that students are beginning to vape is getting younger and younger.
SAME DAY TRANSPORTATION CHANGES??
Call the school before 2:30 pm.
Send a transportation change note to Ms. Jennifer Vittitoe at jennifer.vittitoe@bullitt.kyschools.us.
Be sure to speak with someone at the school and provide the written note. Please note: Due to overcrowding, students typically cannot ride home with friends.
