Tomorrow is the first day of school for our Princeton Bulldogs, and we are so excited to welcome everyone back! As we gear up for a great first day, here are a few important reminders:

⏰ Arrival & Dismissal
Students may enter the building beginning at 8:00 AM.
The tardy bell rings at 8:30 AM.
Dismissal begins at 3:30 PM each day.

👨‍👩‍👧 Walking Students to Class
Parents of students in grades 1–5 will be allowed to walk their children to class during the first week of school. Their Independence Day will be Monday, August 31st, when students will begin walking to class independently.

Kindergarten Independence Day will be Tuesday, September 8th. We appreciate your help as we work to build confidence and independence in our Bulldogs! 🐾

🚗 Car Rider Reminders
Please expect the car line to take a little longer during the first couple of weeks as everyone gets back into the routine and we work to get bus passes to students who need them. We greatly appreciate your patience and understanding!

Having your car tag displayed and ready will help keep the line moving as quickly as possible. If you did not receive a car tag at Open House and need one, please message your child’s teacher through ClassDojo. We will send one home in your child’s folder this week.

We can’t wait to see our Bulldogs tomorrow and kick off an amazing school year together! Thank you for your patience, partnership, and support as we settle into our routines. Here’s to a year full of learning, growth, and Bulldog pride! 💙💛🐾

See you tomorrow, Bulldogs!
