September is coming in HOT!

-

Happy September Bulldog Families, 

With high temperatures this week, here are some things we're doing at Buljan to address the heat wave.

When temperatures are above 100 degrees PE classes will be inside completing nutrition lessons. During both lunches we will have cooling stations, classes will be open as well as other inside option will be shared with students - the library, movie in the multi and more.

With high temperatures, we will encourage students that are outside to drink water and get breaks in the shade. Please remind your child to bring a reusable water bottle and dress appropriately for the heat. When the temperature is 100 degrees at the time of any activity that is outside (PE and Lunch), we will bring students inside. We will be monitoring this closely.

Last week we had our first house rallies. Students played games and practiced their house chants. The green house won our hula hoop challenge!

YELLOW HOUSE CHEER



Our first PTC meeting of the school year will be held via Zoom on September 8th from 6-7:30PM. We hope you can join us! ZOOM LINK

We offer clubs during lunch throughout the school year. Here are the clubs we have to offer so far and will be creating more along the way depending on student interest. 

Tuesdays: Random Acts of Kindness Club (in the Well)

Thursdays: Allies Club (in the Well)

1st and 3rd Fridays: Star Wars club (room 605, B lunch)



In honor of September being Attendance Awareness Month, we would love to help families start a conversation around the importance of attendance with their students. We've attached a flyer with some valuable information about student attendance. 

In addition, if you have any questions about this topic, please enter them on this form. We will be sending out a message each week this month with answers to your questions in addition to other valuable information."


The Buljan Wellness Team is working to support the needs of all our Buljan students and families. In order to best do this it is helpful to gather data so we can adapt our services to best serve our unique environment. If you can please fill out the optional and anonymous Buljan Parent Needs Survey we would be extremely ​thankful.​ This survey also provides information about becoming a parent member of our School Counseling Advisory Council.​ Your time and participation in this survey is extremely valuable, thank you!

Upcoming Events: 
9/21 - Coffee Fundraiser Kickoff
9/21 - Makeup Picture Day
9/27 - 8th grade Hearing Screening
