Hello Tiger Families!

Hello Tiger Families,

We have been working hard on building community and cultivating a calm, focused, and fun learning environment. Part of this is the introduction of the Tiger Showdown. We have been tracking team challenges, academic progress, and attendance as part of a larger competition. So far, the 6th graders are in the lead! We love the friendly and fun competition between grade levels!

Next week is a 4 day week and we will not have school Friday, February 16th or Monday, February 19th.

Also, parents, please take a moment to check out the Recent Updates section of our newsletter each week. This is where a lot of our information is posted.

Attendance Tips

Attend Today, Achieve Tomorrow

If your student is absent for a full day, you have 24-48 hours to call in with the reason for the absence, after that it will be marked unexcused. Per board policy, if a student is absent 10 days excused or not, absences will begin to be marked “unexcused” unless previously noted and approved by school administration or there is a doctor’s note provided to the school.

If you know your student will be absent, tardy or checking out of school please fill out this Google form.

Please provide the school with a note from the doctor, orthodontist, dentist, therapist, or any appointment each time you go.
