Principal’s Welcome Welcome parents to the summer edition of The Bulldog Byte. We hope you find our newsletter informative. We will be sending a newsletter home after every quarter and posting it on our web page. You can also visit our web page to stay updated with important school infor-mation. Our goal is to provide you with important school information to help you plan throughout the year. We will also be highlighting student’s success! This year our school-wide theme is "Mission Possible”. This theme was selected because it reinforces our commitment to our mission of success for all students. At Superstition we will do everything in our power to help students achieve their mission of grad-uating from high school and going on to a productive future. If they choose to accept the mission, success will be their’s!
