Principal's Message
Happy New Year, Bulldog Families!
I hope this Newsletter finds you healthy, well-rested, and energized to begin a new year. The month of December was busy with the hustle and bustle of the holidays and we look forward to settling back into our routines as we round the corner and head into the second half of the school year. It’s hard to believe that in just a few months, members of the Class of 2025 will be walking across the stage at Commencement - but until then, there is much work to be done!
This month, the English and Math departments will begin administering the Winter NWEA assessment to students. Please encourage your child to take these tests seriously, as they are important measures which will help us identify critical areas of academic growth. Midterm Assessments will take place from January 21st through the 24th. Both high schools will be operating on half day schedules during the week of Midterms. Please reference the following schedule for more detailed information. Course Selection for the 2025-2026 school year will begin after Midterm Exam week and will continue through the month of February. More information about this process will be sent to families in the upcoming weeks.
This year, we will continue to place a strong emphasis on high quality, meaningful instruction for all students. Our data teams are analyzing a wide range of student data, most recently the Fall 2024 PSAT scores, which will be used to inform instructional practices. Currently, our school is in the process of completing a School Growth Plan as a follow-up to our NEASC Collaborative Conference, which was held last April. We look forward to implementing this plan over the next year and a half in preparation for our Decennial Accreditation visit in 2026.
Please be sure to visit our website regularly and follow us on Instagram (@bunnellbulldogs) or Twitter (@drkgraf; @bunnellbulldogs) to keep up-to-date with Bunnell’s latest news and events. As always, please do not hesitate to reach out to me with any questions or concerns. I wish you and your family a safe, happy, and healthy New Year.
With Bulldog Pride,
Katie Graf
