Bulldog Family Safety Reminder 🐾
Dear Bulldog Parents and Guardians,
We have been noticing an increase in over-the-counter medications being brought to school by students. For safety reasons, students are not allowed to keep these medications with them. All medications must be brought to the school nurse to be properly processed and administered.
We also ask that you check your child’s belongings for sharp objects such as scissors, rattail combs, or other items that could cause harm. These items are not permitted at school, and your help in checking ahead of time means a safer environment for everyone.
We know it may feel like a lot, but just like we adults have rules to follow, such as not speeding 100 miles per hour down Highmarket Street 🚦, our students must follow rules too.
Thank you in advance for teaming up with us to keep our Bulldog family safe and strong. Your support means the world. 💙🐾
