Greetings Bulldog Families,<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
What an interesting start to October! Our weather has been changing daily so we encourage you to help your Bulldog be prepared for the weather.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Last Friday was our halfway point through the first trimester. Students in grades Kinder through 5th grade who are not meeting standards for their grade level brought home a progress report on Friday, 9\/26. If your student brought one home, please review it, sign it, and return back to school. If you have questions about it, reach out to your student's teacher.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Our lost and found is slowly growing. Please label all sweatshirts, jackets, water bottles, and lunch boxes with your student's name, or at least room number so we can help them find a home. Our lost and found will be out front every day next week until the evening hours. Please stop by, even after school, to see if you can find missing items from your Bulldogs.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
SAVE THE DATE! On October 31st, we will host our annual Book Character Day parade. Families are welcome to come onto campus around 8:30 am to watch our students parade around the blacktop showing off their Book Character costumes! It is usually over in about 30 minutes. More details to come out in a future Weekly Bits.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Thank you for taking the time to read our monthly newsletter and Weekly Bits!<\/div>\n

i-Ready\u00a0Diagnostics are assessments in reading (grades 1\u201312) and mathematics (grades 1\u20138) that help teachers understand student strengths and growth areas. The Fall diagnostic window ended on\u00a0September 19, and results are now available to parents\/guardians through the\u00a0i-Ready\u00a0\u201cFor Families\u201d report.<\/div>\n
To access the report of\u00a0diagnostic\u00a0results, your student should log in to their\u00a0i-Ready\u00a0account from Clever using their badge. From there, you can enter the FUSD access code\u00a0W54RK3<\/strong>\u00a0to view results. For more help, you can download the step-by-step guide here:\u00a0i-Ready\u00a0For Families Reports 2025-26<\/a>.<\/div>\n

Counselor's Corner with Miss Hernandez<\/h2><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\n
\n
This October, our school is joining the nationwide effort to recognize\u00a0Bullying Prevention Month<\/strong>. As part of this, I will be visiting classrooms to teach lessons on understanding and preventing bullying, using \u201cI\u201d messages to express feelings, and learning what it means to be a good friend.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
In addition to classroom lessons, students will also have the opportunity to take part in fun lunch activities that promote kindness, inclusion, and positive connections with peers.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Families play an important role in reinforcing these lessons. Here are a few simple ways you can support your child at home:<\/div>\n
