Today, our Dragons kicked off their first House meeting of the 2026–2027 school year. Students gathered with their House members to learn about their House culture, values, traditions, and what makes each House unique.
They also learned and practiced their House chants and put teamwork into action with a fun cup-stacking challenge. It was exciting to see students encouraging one another, working together, and beginning to build their House pride.
What a great way to start a year of teamwork, belonging, positive relationships, and House spirit at Dr. Mudd!

Happy First Day of Pre-K, Dr. Mudd Families!
Today was a big milestone for our youngest Dragons! Some arrived excited and ready to explore, while others had a few teary-eyed moments.
Our Pre-K students were welcomed into their classrooms, enjoyed their first breakfast at school, and began getting comfortable with their teachers, classmates, and new routines.
To our Pre-K families, we hope you feel comforted knowing that your little Dragons are surrounded by caring staff who are helping them feel safe, supported, and ready to learn.
We are so proud of them for taking this big first step, and we can’t wait to watch them grow throughout the year.
