You may have noticed on a text this morning, that communication from the school is now coming from a new service! Phone calls and text messages will now be received through Apptegy, who also houses our new website. We are very excited about this change as it will make it easier to streamline communication to our Bulldog families and Staff.
If you are a community member who would also like to receive these messages and calls, please contact the school so you can be added to our list! Call 308-388-2041, email office@pleasantonbulldogs.org OR send us a message on Facebook.
As always, there may be some kinks to work out so we thank you for your patience during this transition. Contact the office with any questions!

During the last week of school, Mr. Giffin came and spoke with the 5th grade class all about his travels by participating in cycling races across the country. He had a presentation with pictures from his adventures and the kids got to check out his bike as well! Currently, Mr. Giffin is particpating in the Trans Am Bike Race and you can track him as he pedals across the country! http://trackleaders.com/transam23f.php?fbclid=IwAR2UOb_RcnWpxEAOi1-uz6DhcUEXbX3ih4A8ASELHkj9WXPLUp3tfuxrsdo

Earlier this Spring, we had our annual Elementary "Shadow Day" where students can experience some time in their classroom for the next School Year. Our 6th Graders also get to spend a morning with 7th grade students to help them prepare for the transition to Junior High. Our 5th grade students were able to spend some time with the PreK kiddos that day as well to play and build relationships with other students!
Thanks to the teachers and Mrs. Rassmussen for their hard work to make this day fun!

Parents - Don't forget about getting your child's Sports Physicals done over the summer if they plan on participating in Jr. High or High School Athletics! Here are some links to suggested physical forms your physician can fill out, or if they have their own form that works great too! Please turn all forms in to the office once you have them.
As a reminder, we are required to have Physicals done for ALL incoming Kindergarten & 7th Grade Students per State Law, regardless if they are participating in activities.
