A Note from Principal Webb

Happy Mother’s Day to our amazing Bobcat Mothers!!!!!!!!

9 More Days of School! Today is short and sweet!
The Kaltz Family donated Chick-fil-A breakfast to our whole staff on Friday! They had three children come through BFES! This gesture was so appreciated by our BFES staff! I am so glad you had an enjoyable experience at BFES! Good luck!
Field Day is next week! If you are a spectator, please use the gate at the end of the carpool line to enter the back of the school! Here’s hoping for pleasant weather! If the weather is not looking good, we will more than likely postpone it to the following school day. I will send email and text alerts to all if this is the case. Times are listed below.
All medications stored in the clinic need to be picked up by a parent by 5/23. All medications not picked up will be disposed of. New forms are required for all medications for the 2025-2026 school year. Our clinic aide’s last day at work is Friday, May 23^rd. Contact Ms. Huffman Huffmanm@FultonSchools.org if you have any questions regarding medications.
5^th Grade Parents: Feel free to come to the front office to pick up a 5^th Grade Leaving the Den Yard Sign.
