Carnival
The Neon Lights Carnival was a success! We had huge
turnout, with good food, great vendors, and fun for
all on Friday night. Thank you to the Bud Rank Parent
Teacher Club, who planned, organized and managed
the biggest event of the year. Special thanks to
Kenny & Stacie Mueller the chairs of the carnival,
Hope Allen for the silent auction, and Jaymee McCall
and room parents for the teacher baskets. Just six
months until our 2015-2016 Carnival in October 2015!
SBAC Testing
We begin the testing window with 5th and 6th grade
students testing. Please make sure your child gets
plenty of sleep and good night sleep. We will be
testing before lunch Tuesday through Friday. Check
the Bud Rank website for the full calendar.
SART Surveys
One comment that was repeated often on the surveys
was dress code. Many were confused on the policy
and certain aspects of it. Please keep in mind the
dress code is a CUSD Board Policy and not just a Bud
Rank Dress Code. Some areas that are confusing for
parents are:
 No professional team apparel
 College is ok, just not FSU Bulldog icons
 No Green or Desert Camo (Pastels ok)
 No Athletic Shorts or leggings by themselves
