🐾📚 **WELCOME BACK, BULLPUPS!** 📚🐾

The halls of Philippi Elementary are full of smiles, excitement, and familiar faces once again—and Buster the Bullpup couldn’t be happier! 💙🐾

After saying goodbye to our students for the summer, Buster was SO excited to welcome everyone back and see those smiling faces again! From hugs and high-fives to big Bullpup smiles, he was ready to kick off another amazing school year! 🎉

We hope every student knows just how happy we are to have you back. This is going to be a year filled with learning, growing, making memories, trying new things, and having LOTS of fun!

Welcome back, Bullpups! 🐾💙
We missed you, and we’re SO glad you’re here!

Let’s make this the BEST year yet! 📚✨

📚 A New School Year Is Almost Here! 💙
As we get ready to welcome our students back, we want to make sure families have the important drop-off and pick-up times for the upcoming school year. Please take a moment to review the information in the photo below and keep it handy as you plan your daily routines.
We also kindly ask families to schedule appointments, errands, and other activities with these times in mind whenever possible. Keeping our drop-off and dismissal routines consistent helps us ensure that students arrive safely, transitions run smoothly, and every child is accounted for.
We know schedules can be busy, and we truly appreciate your help and cooperation as we work together to make arrival and dismissal safe, efficient, and successful for everyone! ❤️
We can't wait to see our students! Here's to a wonderful school year! 🍎📚

Principal Highlight for Why Public Ed Wednesday: Philippi Elementary's Principal Buffy Lough comments on why she loves WV Public Schools.

"Public schools are special to me because they open their doors to every child and believe in the potential of every learner. They are places where students come together to learn not only reading, writing, and mathematics, but also how to be kind, work through challenges, include others, and build friendships. Public schools are where futures are shaped, communities are strengthened, and children learn to believe in themselves and each other every single day."
