January was a busy month for field trips! Our kindergarteners got to walk to the high school to get plants started for the garden and our first and second graders went to Roseburg High School to watch a literacy play. Great job, Bullpups, representing our school with care and respect.


Here is the latest, greatest edition of the Bullpup Bulletin: https://www.canva.com/design/DAG0du7mRhY/Yir4bWaOlOoP-fXzgsSSSA/view?utm_content=DAG0du7mRhY&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link2&utm_source=uniquelinks&utlId=he2b542c753
💙 A Thank You and a Warm Welcome 💙
We want to share an important update with our school community. Our SRO, Officer Jake McGarvey, will be leaving his role as School Resource Officer after being promoted to Sergeant with the Sutherlin Police Department. This is an exciting and well-deserved next step for him, and we could not be prouder.
Officer McGarvey has been deeply loved by our students and staff. He could always be found building relationships, offering support, and being a steady, friendly presence in our schools. We are grateful for his calm guidance during difficult moments, his wisdom in supporting students and families, and his playful sense of humor that made our buildings feel more welcoming. He will truly be missed—though we suspect our break room snacks might start lasting a little longer. 😉
At the same time, we are excited to welcome Officer Seth Fox as our new School Resource Officer, starting Monday. Officer Fox has served with the Sutherlin Police Department for seven years, holds an advanced police certification, and is a trained forensic interviewer. He lives and works in Sutherlin, has children in our district, and is committed to our community. When he’s not working, he enjoys video games, Dungeons & Dragons, fantasy books, and is even training for the Tri-Cities 70.3 Ironman Triathlon!
Please join us in congratulating Sergeant McGarvey and welcoming Officer Fox.

Mrs. McCormick's Second Grade Class spent some time with Robert Shuey, a local veteran, asking questions and learning more about what service means. They sang a song, shared some important words and ideas, and then celebrated with cookies. Thank you, Mrs. McCormick, for bringing learning to life for your students and for teaching them about integrity and commitment.

There was a strong police presence at East today -- in all the best ways! The kids were visited by Trooper Randall and Chessa the Police Dog. It was a fun assembly and, most importantly, everyone got to pet her.

January is School Board Appreciation month and we'd like to take a moment to recognize that absolutely integral part of our district.
These five board members are dedicated every day to making our schools, our district and our community better. They take time out of their busy lives constantly and consistently to do whatever it takes to keep our kids and our staff safe, secure and happy, and our district healthy and moving forward.
Most importantly, their decisions , guidance and hard work makes it possible for all our district staff to do what we do best: nurture and develop lifelong learners who are knowledgeable, responsible and caring citizens.
Thank you, School Board! We couldn't do it without you!
Go, Bulldogs!
