| Important Information to know: As you may be aware, there has been an increase in flu (influenza) activity across the state and the US. We have been notified that several in our school community have been diagnosed with the flu over the past several days. Influenza is a viral respiratory illness that is characterized by fever, sore throat, cough, muscle aches, headaches and tiredness. Not all individuals will suffer from all the symptoms. The illness normally lasts between two to seven days. An individual who is experiencing these symptoms may need to be seen by his or her doctor. If your student is experiencing these symptoms, please keep your student home. This is for the protection of all our students as well as teachers and staff. Students are able to return to school if they have been fever free for 24 hours, without the use of medication; free from vomiting/diarrhea for 24 hours; released by a medical provider; and all other symptoms are gone. Please encouraged your student(s) to practice frequent hand washing and keeping hands out of eyes, nose, and mouth.November 8th is election day and as such it is a holiday for students and a professional learning day for teachers. November 21-25 is the Thanksgiving break for staff and students. As such, school will be closed. | |||||

Principal's Message![]() We are proud of how hard our teachers plan to provide instruction and engaging activities for students. We believe that instruction begins as soon as students enter their classrooms. That means that if your student is here at 7:15, they would get about 35 min of additional time with their teachers or engaged in academic activities prior to the bell ringing at 7:50. If you have the ability, avoid the carline delays and put your student on the bus. Some of our buses arrive prior to 7:15 and are all here and unloaded shortly thereafter. If you must drive your student to school each day, you are required to remain in the carline and let your student off on the sidewalk. You are only permitted to get out of the line to park in an appropriate parking spot if you have a need to visit the front office or clinic. We have procedures in place to ensure the safety of our students and staff and appreciate you for following those procedures. | ||||||||

Principal's Message I hope by now you have gotten a chance to get to know each of your teachers and have a great form of two-way communication going with them. From my classroom visits and reading the CTLS posts, I can already tell that this year will be full of active learning engagement in fun ways. Anytime you have a positive affirmation, question or concern, please contact your teachers as soon as possible as they are your first line of communication. I want to encourage you to always keep the lines of communication open with your teachers as we work collaboratively to ensure that all of our students have the BEST year!

Breakfast has been so much fun as they have music playing and many options for students to start their day. As an added convenience, you have the option of purchasing treats through the cafeteria to celebrate your student's birthday. They will prepare, package and have it ready for the class on the day that you've chosen. We love our cafeteria staff and appreciate how they demonstrate Bullard's BEST!

Important Dates
| Important Information to know: Students walk to class without parents starting Monday, August 8, 2022. At 7:50 am, the tardy bell rings and the Bullard staff members on car duty return to the building. If you arrive after the 7:50 tardy bell, park and come inside the front office to sign your child into school. They will be given a tardy pass and sent to class. Following this procedure allows us to have adequate adult supervision and account for every student each day. Enrolling parents are able to update student contact information in ParentVUE. That system will be used by our staff to verify student check outs, access to students during lunch and communication with teachers. Please check your account to make sure we have the most up to date and accurate information. | ||||
Class T-shirts Don’t forget to get your class t-shirts! These are different than the spirit wear shirts from PTA. The class shirts will be worn on field trips and other days of special class activities.
