Lost and Found items in the Main Office!
The Bulldog mascot costume has been stolen, and the last sighting was at the staff karaoke party!
To figure out who did it, we need investigators like you! Join the Safe & Sound Mystery Hunt: The Case of the Stolen Bulldog Costume and help us figure out who’s behind the mic!
How to help:
Watch the evidence video during the Advisory held on December 3rd to start your investigation.
Use your Detective Card (you can collect these in the Library, Activities Office, Student Services, or with Mrs. Schanz) to follow 12 clues hidden around the school between the staff.
Each staff member is considered a “suspect” with a clue leading to the next person.
Collect initials at each stop and learn quick Crime Stoppers / Safe & Sound tips along the way.
Once all clues are solved, find the culprit and turn in your completed card!
Why Participate:
This holiday-themed game is designed to promote school safety awareness through the Safe & Sound app and Crime Stoppers.
It’s fun, fast-paced, and a great way to connect with staff while learning how students can report safety concerns anonymously.

Technology & Books Reminders:
Chromebooks in Cars: No one should ever leave their Chromebooks in a vehicle overnight. With the weather getting colder, leaving your Chromebook in a vehicle for an extended period of time will cause tech issues. Your Chromebook cannot withstand extremely high or extremely low temperatures. You must bring your Chromebook inside and charge it each night if you are able to.
Loaner Chromebooks: Loaner Chromebooks are available for students to check out from the library on the rare occasion that they leave their Chromebook at home. If you need to borrow a loaner Chromebook for the day, please come and take care of that before school. The library is open in the morning from 7:50-8:10. Get your loaner during that time and head to class prepared to learn.
Overdue Books: Our school currently has over 300 overdue books! Ms. Mitola begs you to please return or renew your books as soon as possible! This goes for Language Arts books, too.
