Parents, please note the schedule change for December 9th and 10th. We will have MAP testing on Monday, December 9th, and Tuesday, December 10th, from 8:10 to 9:55. Juniors and Seniors are not required to report to school until 10:00 AM as they will not be taking the MAP test. We will provide supervision for juniors and seniors if they arrive before 9:55. We ask that those students check in at the front office. All PK-10th grade students will begin school at the normal time (8:10). If possible, please refrain from scheduling appointments for students in grades PK - 10 those mornings to help us complete the required testing. Thank you for your support!

Reminder as we head into winter, these are all examples of when you need to keep your student home from school. Remember, if a student is sent home sick, they must be symptom free (without the aid of medication) for at least 24 hours before they can return. Help us keep the spread of germs to a minimum!

Earlier in October, the 6th grade class attended Inventure Day at Buffalo County Fairgrounds. Students learned about the different skills needed to be entrepreneurs. Each group was given a widget and asked to design a new product using that widget. The students were very creative and enjoyed working with students from Amherst and SEM.

REMINDER: Picture Re-Takes are on Tuesday, November 5th, first thing in the morning. If you are needing re-takes or if your child missed the first day, please make sure they attend. If you need extra picture forms, we have them in the office.

Dear Pleasanton Community, Greetings, Bulldog Nation. Under the new NSAA rules, all varsity games will now require the use of a shot clock. Pleasanton is seeking a dedicated individual to operate the shot clock during our girls' and boys' varsity games. If you have a passion for high school basketball and want to give back to the game, this could be a perfect opportunity for you! We will provide training on how to use the shot clock, and we ask for a commitment of at least once a week (our schedule will determine dates) from approximately 5:30 to 9 PM. If you're interested or have any questions, please contact Casey Loomis at cloomis@pleasantonbulldogs.org or call the school at 308-388-2041. Thank you for considering this opportunity to support our athletes!
