Bulldog Essential: Wisdom: Finding out what you should do and doing it!
Principal's Message:
Lula Elementary is a great place! Welcome back to all of our current and new Bulldog families! Lula has wonderful teachers who follow the philosophy that “Children come first.” Our mission is to empower students to be lifelong learners and enable them to achieve their maximum potential.
Please be on time for school! The bell rings at 7:50 and if your child is late, an adult must walk them into the building and sign them into school. Attendance counts and matters! All tardies and absences are reported each day. If your child is absent, you must send a note the day the child returns explaining the absence.
Welcome Back! Principal-- Lynette Scheman

Jessica Burce- Assistant Principal

Clinic: Our nurse, Gail Watson, will be at Lula every day. Students requiring medication, whether prescription or non-prescription, must have a medication form on file in the clinic. All prescription and non-prescription drugs must be in their original containers and turned in to the clinic. At no time may a teacher dispense any medication. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to our nurse, Mrs. Gail Watson:
Lunch: We take the first several weeks preparing our students with the lunchroom expectations, so we will begin to have lunchtime visitors on September 5th. Two visitors per student are welcome to come and have lunch. Weather permitting, you will eat outside at the picnic table area. Please refrain from bringing outside restaurant food, and please do not take pictures or videos so that other children are included. Please make sure you know the lunchtime of your child so that they get back to class as soon as their lunchtime is over.
Car Riders: If you are transporting your child to school, you may drop him/her off each morning through the car rider line. We begin to open doors at 7:20 am. Afternoon pick-up through the car rider line will begin at 2:25 each afternoon.
Please update your parent portal as soon as possible. You will need to complete all documents (health information sheets, etc.) on the portal as well. If you have an updated address, you will also need to update this information in the portal.
Ice Cream will now be sold every Monday for $1.00.
